Don’t be fooled by a Honeydew’s pale rind, because its green flesh is actually one of the sweetest of all melons when ripe. “Honeydew” is the American name for the French variety “White Antibes”, which was grown for many years in southern France and Algeria for export. This fruit can serve as a refreshing snack and makes an excellent sorbet or palette cleanser between meals.
