Malaysia Yellow Watermelon is a sweet watermelon with green rind and bright yellow flesh. Also known as golden watermelon, yellow flesh watermelon and sweet watermelon, it has a juicy texture with a mellow honey-like sweetness when ripe.
Compared with red watermelon, yellow watermelon often tastes slightly softer, sweeter and more dessert-like. The flesh is refreshing, watery and full of juice, making it ideal for chilled slices, cut fruits, watermelon juice, fruit platters and frozen desserts.
Yellow watermelon is not a dyed or artificial watermelon. Its golden flesh comes from natural watermelon variety differences. It is best served cold and fresh, especially on hot days when you want a hydrating fruit with a bright sweet flavour.
