Korean melon
The Korean melon (''Cucumis melo'' L. var. ''makuwa'') or chamwae (참외) is a type of melon primarily grown in Korea, China, and Japan. The fruit is approximately 10 cm long and typically weighs slightly over .〔 It is smooth, yellow, and oblong with white stripes that run the length of the fruit.〔 It has white flesh that is juicy and sweet, and the seed cavity is filled with small white seeds.〔 The flavor has been described as a cross between a honeydew melon and a cucumber.〔 The fruits are usually eaten fresh; with its thin rind and small seeds, the melon can be eaten whole.〔〔 The Korean melon, when fermented, is called ''chamoe jangajji''.〔
==Origin==
The word ''chamoe'' comes from two words: ''cham'' meaning "high quality" and ''oe'' meaning "cucumber".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oriental melon )〕
Phylogenetic studies tracing the genetic lineage of the plant suggest that the Korean melon may have originated in East India.〔〔 They were then thought to have been introduced to China from the west via the Silk Road.〔
