Melons

Variety of melons on a white background.

Melons are members of the gourd family. These plants have climbing or trailing vines that produce large, tough rind fruits that are sweet and juicy. You’d think these fruits, with their tough rinds wouldn’t need much attention. Just put them in a big display and wait for them to sell.

Even though they look tough, melons have requirements that go beyond being putting them in a big display. This course provides the information you need to properly maintain the quality and freshness of melons from the time they arrive until they end up in someone’s home.

• Identify different melon characteristics.
