Organic Mini Red Seedless Watermelons

The casaba melon was first cultivated in Persia thousands of years ago. It wasn’t introduced to the United States until the late nineteenth century when it was imported from Kasaba, Turkey.

Casaba melons are golden yellow with greenish coloration on their wrinkled exterior. The round, pumpkin shaped melon has a slight point at the stem end. The flesh is creamy-green, juicy and lightly sweet. Delicious eaten by as is, or for added flavor, try it with a sprinkle of ginger, salt, or a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Casaba melons add sweetness to fruit salads and are refreshing used in drinks, like fruit punch, margaritas or daiquiris.

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.
