Galia Melon

Galia is a green-fleshed variety of melon with a netted-tan skin, similar to cantaloupe. You’ve probably heard me rave about Nichols melons, so I want to make sure and mention that I don’t think this is the sweetest of melons that we’ll see this season. I don’t think it’s the variety, rather that it is early in the season, and we’ve recently seen a lot of rain (basically dilutes the sugar in the fruit). Don’t hear what I’m not saying though, they are still aromatic and delicious.
