Melons, whose varieties we are unlikely to try

What melons are there, which are almost impossible to taste in Russia in the general order?

Spanish melons

Today, only for special orders in elite supermarkets can you find Spanish options that are distinguished by an unprecedented flavor and taste. Those who have tried them at least once in their lives believe that such fruits from this southern country do not have competitors in the world.

How do these melons look? Varieties do not differ in external appeal, because They are not yellow, but olive-green. The size is also small, which at first somewhat embarrasses connoisseurs of this delicacy. But you just have to try this fruit with a tender flesh, a magic smell and a thin consistency, as you understand, that it is magnificent. Gourmets who have visited more than one country note that Spanish samples have a thin crust. In the markets, this fruit appears from the end of July and is realized until the fall.

Brazilian product

Where else are the delicious melons grown? Varieties that are imported in the winter season from Brazil are similar to Spanish, but have a less bright flavor, white flesh, moderately developed middle with bones, thin skin. The fruit also has a green color. Users consider such melons quite ordinary in taste, which, perhaps, is caused by long terms of transportation from South America.

Fruits from Uzbekistan

True lovers of melons, whose varieties number more than one and a half hundred, should go to Uzbekistan, where there is such a variety. Here, this fruit is called a paradise delicacy and believe that it is worthy of feelings equal to the love of a woman. In Uzbekistan, this plant has been cultivated since the first century of our era, so there really is something to try.

If you get to the Kovun Sayli melon holiday at the end of summer or beginning of September, you can taste better samples of "gokcha", "torlama", "ak-novat Khorezm" from the ancient times of the well-known Khorezm zone of agriculture. This brings melons "ak kosh", "shakar-steam" from the Fergana Valley. The Tashkent district delivers early "kokcha", "ak kalya pos" and variants with dense pulp, such as "orange golabi" or "guljabi zelenomyas", etc.

On the Russian market only firm-tipped samples fall, while varieties with tender flesh can be eaten only in Uzbekistan, They are poorly transported. Local residents consume melons in fresh as well as in dried form, and the taste and aroma of the fetus are completely preserved after such treatment.

The variety of melon "amal" can often be found in stores in the season. This elongated fruit is large enough (up to 4 kg, it is assumed that the more it is, the better) with a yellow-green skin in large cracks. It is believed that this is the sweetest variety of melons available to Russians. The skin of the fetus is thin, the consistency of good samples is like ice cream, melting in the mouth.

Sort of melon "torpedo", in fact, the variety is not, so in the trade networks are called "amalas" for their shape. In general, this plant has many varieties, including low-sugar and an elongated serpentine form ("adzhur", "tarra"). Such fruits in South and Central Asia are consumed instead of cucumbers.
