Melon - Galia

The Galia is a type of melon similar to a cantaloupe, though larger, and with deep green flesh. Like any melon, they are sweet and aromatic, with a flavour more like a cantaloupe than a honeydew, although with a complexity of their own. Ripeness is measured not by softness at the stem but rather by colour and fragrance.

Nutrition:

Melon is low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Vitamin B6, Folate and Potassium, and a very good source of Vitamin C.

Storage:

Left at room temperature, Galias keep well, but after cutting, each piece should be wrapped and refrigerated to preserve taste.
