Charentais Melons

This fruit is celebrated for its extraordinary candy sweetness, featuring a mild and refreshing taste that superbly blends the flavors of cantaloupe and honeydew melon with the crispy crunch of cucumber.

Hami’s firm texture makes it perfect for almost every culinary application. Unlike softer melon varieties, Hami can be skewered and even grilled without falling apart. The texture delights your senses with a combination of crunchiness and juicy sweetness. Serve chilled for a supremely refreshing treat.

A native of Africa, watermelon was supposedly a source of water for thirsty traders who began to sell the seeds in cities along the Mediterranean trade routes.

With the consumption of around 3 billion pounds annually, it’s no surprise that the watermelon is considered one of America’s favorite fruits. Available May thru September, yellow watermelon is a perfect picnic snack on a hot summer day, chilled and cut into wedges, bars, or cubes, and added to salads, or purée or juice for spritzers or aguas frescas.
