Everything you ever wanted to know about different types of melons
There are so many different types of melons that you are sure to find one you and your family love to eat. You will likely find several different varieties that you enjoy. All types of melons belong to the gourd family, and they can be further broken down into two varieties of gourds: watermelons and muskmelons.
You can tell which types of melons belong in the watermelon family and which belong in the muskmelon family by looking closely at their skins. Muskmelons can have netted skin or smooth skin. You can also tell if a melon belongs in the muskmelon family by cutting into the melon. All muskmelons have seeds and a hollow center. Muskmelons can be a wide variety of colors, from yellow or green, to orange. At least one type of muskmelon is available at every time of year, although there are more muskmelons available during the summer months. Cantaloupe, honeydew, and casaba melons are some common types of muskmelon.

The melons in the watermelon category also tend to be a lot larger and heavier than the melons in the muskmelon category. In the United States, the only common type of watermelon is what we commonly call, simply, a watermelon. It’s dark green with a red inside and lots of seeds. However, some types of watermelon may also have white or yellow flesh inside of them. The seeds can also vary in color. There are also some varieties of watermelon that are considered to be seedless, although they do contain a few small seeds that you can eat. One of the most common characteristics of the watermelon is the hollow sound you hear when you slap it lightly. This sound is also an indication that the watermelon is perfectly ripe and ready to eat. A dull rind on a watermelon is also better than a shiny one.
The most common types of melons found in the United States are watermelons, honeydews, and cantaloupes. Melons are commonly used in salads or as part of a fruit cocktail.

When you purchase melons of either kind, you can store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat them.
