Golden Honeydew Melon's rind is thin, bright yellow, firm, and smooth with shallow striations. Underneath the rind, the flesh is white to ivory with pale green accents and has a chewy, aqueous, and succulent consistency. Golden Honeydew Melons emit a fruity and floral aroma around the stem when ripe, and the blossom end will feel springy and soft under gentle pressure, sometimes displaying a slight opening. These melons are traditionally sweeter than green honeydew melons.
