Trying to wean yourself from sweets to fruit that is good for you goes better when you allow yourself a special fruit. This week I discovered a Yellow Melon from Brazil. The packaging was enticing. It was in a net closed on either end with a material handle affixed for easy transport.
These almost white meat melons have been available in the US since about 2008. The company that grows and distributes them has been cleared for fruit flies.
With an oval shape but with a size approximating that of a cantaloupe, these will produce 2 ample dishes of melon balls. The taste is mild and sweet. The texture is smoother than that of a honeydew. Treat yourself.
