CITRON MELON-GENERAL INFORMATION

    This  is  a  variety  of  watermelon  that  is  not  as

palatable
 as  the  commonly  used varieties  of  the  fruit

because
it has a hard white flesh.  However, the rind may be

candied
 or  pickled.   It is noteworthy  that  the  candied

"citron"
sold in many American stores is often made from the

citron
 melon rather than from the peel of the citrus  fruit

citron,
 which  is  much  more  expensive  and  has  a  more

distinctive
flavor.
