This rare Iraqi melon has been cultivated for over 1000 years around Samarra on the Euphrates! The fruits are elongated and have a fine netting on the outside, while the big surprise is on the inside: a taste experience unlike any melon you've known... the light green flesh tastes sweet with a remarkable citrus aroma and a subtle tartness. Very tasty and refreshing!
