Canary Melons have an elongated, oval shape, slightly tapering on both ends, similar in appearance to an American football. The melon's rind is tough, hard, thick, and semi-smooth, sometimes speckled with brown markings. Underneath the rind, the flesh ranges in color from ivory to white with pale green hues and is juicy, soft, tender, and succulent. The flesh also contains a central cavity filled with many tan oval seeds encased in stringy white fibers. This melon has a distinctly mild, sweet, and tangy flavor.
