Martori's Kandy Lemondrop melons back for third season
Martori Farms announced its exclusive Kandy Lemondrop Melon will begin shipping June 1. This year marks the third season the Arizona-based grower and shipper of premium melons will distribute the specialty Lemondrop variety.
According to Martori, Kandy Lemondrop Melons have a signature sweet tartness of lemon and subtle hints of honeydew and watermelon that set its flavor profile apart from other melons.
“These melons have gained so much popularity since making a debut in 2013, it makes perfect sense to meet consumer demand and bring them back for another season,” Steve Martori, managing member, said in a press release. “This summer we foresee the excitement to once again be positive among consumers.”
The characteristics of the Kandy Lemondrop Melon that make it unique are its distinct exterior appearance, high Brix level and flavor profile. The Kandy Lemondrop Melon is a unique hybrid of sweet Galia melons, a wild melon variety containing high citric acid content.
