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.
