Crenshaw melons (Cucumis melo,) are a variety of muskmelon sought after for their sweet, juicy flesh and aromatic flavor. Often compared to a blend of honeydew and cantaloupe. They feature a distinctive oval shape with a golden rind that turns creamy yellow when ripe, topped with a small, pointed end. Originating from the early 20th century, the Crenshaw melon was developed in the United States, named after a Los Angeles hotel owner who allegedly had a hand in popularizing it. This melon became especially favored in the mid-20th century for its rich taste, making it a staple in upscale fruit cups and desserts during that era.
