Honeydew melons are sweet to taste. The inside of the honeydew melon is pale green in color, the skin is yellow to green. When ripe the honeydew melon is the sweetest of all melons.  The flesh of the honeydew is very simular to the cantaloupe. In Chile, an orange flesh variety is grown. It is shipped in the winter months. It is slightly oval. Fresh cut honeydew melons absorb ordors.

There are different varieties of the melon and one is called the winter melon. Honeydew is available in the United states year around.
