Selecting Melons
Choosing melons can be an art, but choices can be more practical when their nature is understood. Generally the quality of the melon will depend on how well they were picked and handled, the manner in which they were transported, and the length of time in storage. The storage and the environment will determine final outcome of their quality on delivery.
