A summer fruit favorite, melons are the perfect sweet treat for any time of day&#;and there are so many to choose from. That's why we're breaking down into different types of melons, from yellow watermelon to Charentais, that are available in the summer months. There's bound to be at least one melon that's new to you here, but once you become familiar with each, we know you won't look back. Whether you're looking to explore a new fruit or want to learn how to pick the best melon, you'll find everything you need to know below.

Melons 101

They're juicy, aromatic, and ever so sweet&#;is it any wonder that melons have been cultivated for thousands of years? The fruits fall into two species:

• Cucumis melo, which includes muskmelons, cantaloupes, and honeydews
• Citrullus lanatus, also known as watermelons, include yellow watermelons and sugar babies, (which look similar to a classic watermelon but are slightly different)

Unique Varieties

Perhaps you're looking to try something new, like hamali. It's a long muskmelon native to China with a sweeter, crisper taste than a typical cantaloupe. Or head west and try the Charentais, otherwise known as the French cantaloupe. Its shallow seeds make for easy eating, and it has a fragrant, sweet flavor.

Picking the Perfect Melon

When it comes to selecting the perfect melon, look for locally grown options at the market through fall. It's important to note that melons don't get sweeter after they're picked, and that's true year-round. Here are a few fast tricks that will help you pick the ripest melon of the bunch&#;but turn to our comprehensive guide to picking ripe melons for more information.

• To judge the ripeness of a watermelon, tap it and listen for a dull "plunk" sound.
• With honeydews and other winter melons, the blossom end should give slight pressure.
• For muskmelons and cantaloupes, sniff for a strong fruity aroma.
  

Now that you know how to choose the best melon, put one of the following varieties on your radar so you're prepared the next time you hit the farmers' market.
