Orange Honeydew Melon's rind is smooth, thin, firm, and waxy, ranging in color from white to pale yellow, depending on maturity. The flesh is salmon-orange, thick, and dense beneath the surface with a crisp, semi-firm, juicy, and succulent consistency. These melons emit a honeyed, musky aroma when ripe, feel heavy for their size, and the blossom end will give slightly under pressure. The flesh contains a refreshing, sweet, and subtly floral flavor.
