When Is Honeydew Melon in Season in your region?
Honeydew are available at different times of year in your region, and supply varies through the year. Use the seasonal tool below for a month-by-month guide.
How to Tell if a Honeydew is Ripe
- Creamy yellow-white skin: Ripe honeydew skin turns from bright green to a creamy, slightly waxy pale yellow. Still very green = underripe.
- Velvet texture: Run your hand over the surface — a ripe honeydew feels slightly sticky or velvety. Dry and smooth = underripe.
- Smell the stem end: A ripe honeydew smells sweetly of honey at the base. No smell = underripe.
- Slight give at ends: Both ends should give very slightly to firm pressure. Rock hard = underripe.
- Heavy for size: More weight = more juice content.
Honeydew vs Rockmelon
Honeydew has pale green flesh and a much milder, sweeter flavour than rockmelon. Rockmelon has orange flesh with a stronger musky flavour and higher vitamin A content. Honeydew has slightly more vitamin C. Both are in season at the same time — buy both and serve together for a stunning fruit platter.
