ALL ABOUT THESE WATERMELONS

The Red Seeded Citron Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a rare heirloom variety with a rich history. This small, round melon, resembling a compact watermelon, features a tough, mottled green rind and dense, pale green to white flesh speckled with striking red seeds. Known for its high pectin content, it’s ideal for crafting preserves, jams, pickles, and sweetmeats, offering a mild flavor reminiscent of cucumber or young pumpkin. Harvested in late fall, its 3-11 pound fruits store exceptionally well for up to a year, making it a practical choice for long-term use. Perfect for culinary enthusiasts seeking unique, time-tested ingredients.
