Santa Claus melon
The Santa Claus melon, sometimes known as Christmas melon or ''piel de sapo'', is a variety of melon (family Cucurbitaceae, ''Cucumis melo'', Inodorus group) that grows to about a foot in length and is oval in shape. It has a thick, green-striped outer rind and pale green to white inner flesh with a mild melon flavour and sweetness close to honeydew melons.
The melon should be slightly soft, especially on the ends, and should be washed, split length-wise and its seeds scooped out.
==Description==
It has a blotched green peel after which it is named in Spanish (''piel de sapo'' translates as "toad skin"). A closely related melon with the same shape, but with yellow peel is known as 'Amarillo' or canary melon. The attractive green and gold-to-bright yellow-striped Santa Claus melon somewhat resembles a small watermelon. Inside is a mellow and mildly flavoured, pale-greenish flesh very similar to that of a honeydew. The ripest Santa Claus melon will have soft blossom ends that yield to gentle pressure and a vibrant yellow hue. Because of its thick skin, this melon does not release a tell-tale aroma when ripe.
This melon was named in English as recognition of its long keeping qualities, i.e., "until Christmas".
