Although netted like a traditional cantaloupe, the Sweet ‘n Crisp melon is easy to recognize because of its oval shape and rich, golden yellow exterior. But it’s the taste and crunch that make this melon one-of-a-kind. With the texture of a crisp, juicy apple and a uniquely sweet, refreshing and light melon taste, DULCINEA® Sweet ‘n Crisp Asian-Style Cantaloupe is perfect at mealtime or as a healthy snack or dessert. It’s a delicious complement to BBQ!

DULCINEA® Sweet ‘n Crisp is a non-GMO hybrid of the highly popular hami melon. The hami melon originated in China more than 1,700 years ago and was given as an esteemed gift in the imperial court. Currently grown in Yuma, Arizona and California’s San Joaquin Valley, the Sweet ‘n Crisp is available June – October.

We harvest the Sweet ‘n Crisp at its flavor peak, when its brownish-green exterior turns a bright yellow, ensuring every melon you buy is ripe and ready to eat. After harvest, the melon’s exterior continues to darken from a bright yellow to a deep gold. At the deep-golden stage, the melon is juicy and ultra sweet. This color transition allows you to enjoy each melon ripened to your taste preference.

Store uncut/whole Sweet ‘n Crisp melons at room temperature, on the countertop and out of direct sunlight for up to 10 days, depending on level of ripeness when purchased. A day before serving, refrigerate the melon as it tastes best chilled.

Cut Sweet ‘n Crisp should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Once cut, it will last 7 to10 days.

A one cup serving is equivalent to ¼ of a small melon; 1/6 of a medium melon; and 1/8 of a large melon.
