5 Best Melons To Eat and Where To Buy them

Summer is ending soon, so it&#;s time to stock up on melons. But which melons are best to purchase, and how can you incorporate them into your menu?

An enduring summer favorite, melons are a member of the Cucurbitaceae family and come in several varieties that fall under the watermelon or muskmelon umbrella. Muskmelons and watermelons have thick rinds and soft inner flesh that&#;s both nutritious and hydrating thanks to the high-water content, so it&#;s hardly surprising that people have been enjoying melons since ancient Egyptian times.

However, not all melons are the same. Some are juicier, and some contain more lycopene. Others are sweeter or have a longer shelf life. Still, others offer a higher yield. For example, 15-18 cantaloupes without rinds provide a 50% yield, while six honeydews without rinds have a 57% yield and watermelons have a 47% yield.

Since so many delicious melons are on the market today, choosing which ones to stock up on can be difficult. Plus, once you make your selections, you&#;ll need to decide what to do with them.

Several varieties are available, ranging from Bambino watermelons to Queen of Hearts watermelons to Jubilee watermelons, and they all vary slightly in size and flesh color. Some have seeds, while others are seedless, but all watermelons are hydrating, refreshing, and perfect for the hot end-of-summer weather.=
