What are the two colors of the flesh of the new open-field watermelon variety Golden Melon watermelon?

Introduction to new watermelon varieties. Do you know of a watermelon variety called Golden Melon? This type of watermelon has a golden-yellow rind, so everyone calls it ‘Golden Melon’.

You would never guess that the flesh of the Golden Melon comes in two colors: one is yellow rind with yellow flesh, and the other is yellow rind with red flesh. The two different flesh colors form because the two types of flesh have different water content. To tell the color of the flesh, you generally can only rely on experience, weighing it in your hand to judge by the weight.

29-year-old Yu Qiang is a farmer in Yingdong District, Fuyang, Anhui. He trial-planted several greenhouses of “golden watermelon” on his own watermelon base. This melon not only has a good shape, a sandy-crisp texture, plenty of juice and high sugar content, it also has very nice names: the yellow rind with yellow flesh one is called “Golden Beauty”; the yellow rind with red flesh one is called “Beautiful Life”. With its delicious taste and nice names, this watermelon is bound to be favored by consumers as soon as it hits the market.

According to what Yu Qiang told us, his father’s generation were skilled watermelon growers, and because of his father’s influence, he has been growing watermelons for 4 years. Locally, he is the only one growing this type of watermelon. So when this type of watermelon came to market, it attracted many villagers and vendors to come and watch and buy.

After tasting the watermelon, a local villager said that he had grown watermelons for nearly his whole life, and today was still the first time he had seen and tasted this kind of colored watermelon. The old man said that this watermelon is not only good-looking, but also tastes good when eaten.

“Compared with ordinary watermelons, this golden watermelon has basically about the same yield, but the price is double. This year’s trial planting turned out very well. It is expected that this first crop of melons will yield about 3,500 jin, with an output value of about 10,000 yuan per mu, so the returns are still quite good”. Yu Qiang said.

You who love eating watermelon, have you ever seen this kind of golden melon? If not, do you, like me, also want to taste the flavor of this kind of watermelon?
