Madhu Ras (Rajasthan Honey Melon)

A rare find! This is a small but delicious heirloom melon from Rajasthan, India. The name Madhu Ras means honey melon, an appropriate name for such a sweet fruit. These melons thrive in the hot and dry conditions of western India, and they will grow in similar conditions in the U.S. The flesh is soft and silky with a classic muskmelon taste.
