Muskmelon is one of the sweetest among the wide variety of melons. The most versatile melon around and aptly named honeydew is both sweet and succulent. Its celery-coloured flesh looks like a green-tinged precious stone. Its skin is a kind of yellow that resembles the canary bird and is hence also known as canary melon. It has a distinct aroma and a slightly tangy taste. Adding this melon to a fruit salad will make it refreshing.
