Return of Kandy Lemondrop Melons Make for a Sweet Summer

The extra sweet and refreshingly tart Kandy Lemondrop Melons are back again to kick-off the summer.

Martori Farms announce the Kandy Lemondrop Melon begin shipping June 1. This year marks the third season the Arizona-based grower and shipper of premium melons will distribute the one-of-a-kind specialty Lemondrop variety, company officials say. The exclusive Kandy Lemondrop Melons return is due to the growing popularity of its unique flavor that some explain as being unlike any other melon, officials add. Kandy Lemondrop Melons, true to the name, have a signature sweet tartness of lemon and subtle hints of honeydew and watermelon that set its flavor profile apart from any other melon. “These melons have gained so much popularity since making a debut in 2013, it makes perfect sense to meet consumer demand and bring them back for another season,” says Steve Martori, managing member. “This summer we foresee the excitement to once again be positive among consumers.” The characteristics of the Kandy Lemondrop Melon that make it unique are its distinct exterior appearance, high brix level and one-of-a-kind flavor profile. The Kandy Lemondrop Melon is a unique hybrid of sweet Galia melons, a wild melon variety containing high citric acid content.
