Piel de Sapo Season
July – September
Piel de Sapo melons have an oblong shape and a spotted green exterior. They contain a mildly sweet white flesh.
Ripeness
To find a ripe Piel de Sapo look for a dark green color with flecks of gold between the stripes.
Cleaning
Since melons grow on the ground, it’s only logical to make sure they’re perfectly clean on the outside before cutting them. Run cool water over the melon before eating to remove any surface dirt that may remain.
Storage
Turlock Fruit melons are picked vine-ripened so they should immediately be stored in a refrigerator. Cover cut melons with plastic and store no more than 3 days.
