Summer is coming, and the season of melon and fruit fragrance is coming again. When it comes to the most popular melons and fruits in summer, watermelons and melons are definitely among the best. They are full of water and high sweetness, and they can quench thirst and summer heat when eaten, so they are loved by people. When watermelons and melons are first on the market, the price is very expensive. A watermelon can be sold for dozens of yuan, and a melon can also be sold for more than ten yuan. However, when they went on the market in large numbers, the price came down, and a few dozen yuan could buy a big bag.

But there is a kind of melon, its price is very expensive from beginning to end, even if the peak period will not reduce the price too much, it looks like a cucumber, have you ever seen it?

This kind of melon is called crisp melon, which is famous for its crisp taste and round shape, also known as sheep horn crisp. The peel of crispy melon is green in white, the flesh inside is yellowish green, and the flesh is orange, sweet and juicy. Crispy melon has a high sweetness, which is 2-3 times that of ordinary melon. There is a folk saying that it is sweeter than white sugar. And crisp melon also has a characteristic, that is, the immature tender melon has no bitter taste, unlike other melons are bitter when they are not ripe. Therefore, crisp melons are also known as "treasures in melons".

Crispy melons are mostly planted in the north, and the ones produced in the middle of the Huaihe River Basin are the best. After years of local cultivation and seed selection, the crisp melon is not only large, one can reach more than 30 centimeters, but also the meat is thick and crisp. After ripe, the melon meat can show golden yellow, the taste is very sweet. Because of the high quality, the price of crisp melon has not been cheap. After being shipped to big cities, a single crisp melon can be sold for 15-30 yuan, and the price is about 10 times that of ordinary melons. Farmers do not have the heart to eat them in order to sell more money.

When I saw the crispy melon for the first time, I thought it was a big cucumber. I didn't find it different until I cut it. First of all, I smelled a strong sweet smell, in which the color of melon meat was very different from that of cucumbers, which was yellowish green and appetizing. And crisp melon flesh (seeds) can also be eaten, juice is rich, very sweet. After eating one, I can't help eating another one, which is crisp and sweet, much more delicious than the melons I used to eat.
