| A small melon that's similar to honeydew |
Yesterday we were at T&T Supermarket in Richmond and came across this mini melon called 绿宝石甜瓜 or emerald gem melon. It's so small that it fits in the palm of your hand.
When I Googled it I was surprised to discover it's a fruit!
We chopped it open tonight and discovered the flesh inside really is emerald green with tiny yellow seeds. Once the seeds are scooped out, there isn't much of the fruit left.
The best way to eat it is to slice it up like a watermelon. We didn't know what we were buying so we didn't know how to choose a ripe melon, but overall it has a bit of sweetness.
Is it worth it? Not really -- best to stick with a ripe honeydew or cantaloupe instead!
