Honey Kiss melons have ovoid shapes, and they're about the same size as cantaloupes, around 4 to 6 inches wide. They have gold or greenish-gold skin covered in a cream or beige pattern that looks like netting, and the flesh is light orange or peach-colored. The seeds are small and beige.
All melons are related to gourds like cucumbers and squash, and they're a kind of berry with fleshy fruit called a Pepo. People have been enjoying many types of melons for thousands of years. According to the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center, people in the United States eat an average of 27 pounds of melons per year.
The Sandstone Melon Company developed Honey Kiss melons in the early 2000s. They come from Hami melons, also called Chinese Hami melons or snow melons. People often refer to this fruit as the king of melons in China, and it was a favorite of Chinese royalty. There's even a Hami Melon Festival every July.
How to pick out Honey Kiss melons
Honey Kiss melons should look symmetrical and plump. They're heavy, and you may hear a subtle sound when you shake them from the seeds moving around inside. If the sound is loud or the melon feels light for its size, the flesh inside may have started to dry out. When Honey Kiss melons are ripe, they have a sweet smell, and they may have a few brown spots called sugar spots. They're more gold than green, and they may feel a bit soft around the area where the stem used to sit.
Honey Kiss melons grow on long, trailing vines that stay close to the ground, and the stems detach by themselves when they become ripe. If part of the stem is still on the melon, it may have been picked too soon. These melons don't continue to ripen after they're picked, so you should eat them as soon as possible after you order them with Instacart. You can keep them at room temperature on your counter for a few days or for a week or two in your refrigerator. People can freeze them as well.
What are the best ways to prepare melons?
Honey Kiss melons are juicy, crisp, and refreshing, and they taste great with nothing but a bit of salt. You can cut into slices like watermelon and let kids eat it with their hands, or you can make melon cubes or balls. They taste great in fruit salads or with wine and cheese. You can puree the seeds and add them to smoothies with Honey Kiss melon flesh and other fruits. Making popsicles with pureed Honey Kiss melons is a great idea as well.
You can also roast the seeds in your oven with some olive oil and salt. Bake them for about 10 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, you can eat them by themselves or add them to green salads or trail mix.
