Fruit
Honey Brew
A tier
Honey Brew is a hybrid honeydew selected for high sugar, attractive pale rind, and improved uniformity for commercial and garden plantings. Flesh is lime-green and juicy with a clean honeyed finish when fully ripe. It aims at the modern retail expectation of consistently sweet smooth melons. Ideal for fruit trays, aguas, and hotel breakfast. Let fruit finish until the rind creams slightly and aroma hints at sweetness—pure white-green hard fruit will taste like cucumber. Store whole cool; refrigerate cut pieces.
