Giumarra Nogales shipping two new melon varieties
Giumarra's Nogales division is now offering two new melon varieties shipped under its "Nature's Partner" brand. The varieties are the Summer Sweet cantaloupe and Sweet Pearl personal seedless watermelon.
"The melons are coming from our new crops in Hermosillo and Guaymas Sonora," Giumarra Nogales Sales Manager Nick Rendon said in a Nov. 18 press release. "Our crops look outstanding, as does the fruit. Volumes are ample right now and will be increasing."
The Summer Sweet variety is a Tuscan-style cantaloupe that has high pressure and sugar when initially harvested, which is great for processing. Once at store level, the flesh softens and is sweet and flavorful with a tender, juicy texture. This melon is low in calories and is an excellent source of the antioxidant beta-carotene.
The Sweet Pearl melon is a personal, seedless watermelon with a solid dark exterior thin rind, plus a great flavor and interior color.
In addition to the aforementioned melons, Giumarra Nogales is currently carrying honeydews, English cucumbers, green bell peppers and assorted chili peppers. The division is also shipping Mexican avocados in conjunction with the Giumarra Escondido division.
