What is China Husk Melon?

China Husk Melon is a melon fruit from China with a thick brown rind or melon husk, beige netting and orange flesh inside. It is similar in eating style to muskmelon or cantaloupe, but it has its own rind appearance and slightly firmer texture.

The word “husk” refers to the thick outer melon rind. Once the melon is cut open, the orange flesh can be sliced, cubed or blended into drinks and desserts.

China Husk Melon vs Honeydew Melon

China Husk Melon is not the same as standard honeydew melon. Honeydew melon is usually known for its smoother pale rind and pale green or white flesh, while China Husk Melon has a thicker brown netted husk and orange flesh.

Both are melon fruits, but China Husk Melon is closer in eating style to orange muskmelon or cantaloupe because of its colour, aroma and sweet juicy flesh.

How to Eat China Husk Melon

Wash the melon husk before cutting. Slice the melon in half, scoop out the seeds, then cut the orange flesh into wedges or cubes. Serve chilled for the best flavour and texture.

You can enjoy China Husk Melon on its own, add it to a fruit platter, blend it into melon juice, or use it for smoothies, milkshakes, lassi, sorbet, pudding and other chilled desserts.

• Serve chilled as fresh melon slices
• Cut into cubes for fruit platters
• Blend into smoothies or melon milk
• Use in lassi or fresh melon juice
• Add to breakfast bowls or salads
• Use in sorbet, pudding or chilled desserts

How to Choose a Good China Husk Melon

A good China Husk Melon should feel heavy for its size and have a pleasant melon aroma when ripe. The outer husk should look firm and naturally textured, without wet, sunken or overly soft spots.

As melon sweetness can vary by harvest batch, the best eating experience is usually when the melon is chilled and eaten fresh after cutting.

Storage Tips

Keep the whole China Husk Melon at room temperature until it is ready to cut. If the melon is already ripe or if you prefer it chilled, you can place it in the refrigerator before serving.

Once cut, cover the melon or store the pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For best freshness, consume within 3 to 4 days.
