- In this episode of In The Kitchen With Matt, I show you how to eat a Canary Melon and do a taste test. The Canary Melon name comes from being bright yellow like the Canary bird. The melon is found in many parts of Asia like Japan, South Korea, Algeria, Morocco. It is cultivated in other parts of the world like the United States and Mexico. It is also found in several other countries, worldwide. It is very sweet with a slight tang to it.

Thank you for this video! I just bought a canary melon for the first time today at a farmers market and I never had this before. Now I know what it’s going to taste like and how to properly cut this melon. Thank you for this!
You are very welcome! Glad you bought one to try. :) :)
I bought my first Canary melon yesterday, and I was so utterly surprised at the sweetness and lovely texture of this melon. I am now a huge fan of the Canary melon!
Awesome!! Glad you gave it a try and liked it!!
im from morocco and those are very common here. anyway one thing i noticed this summer is that the bigger it is the tastier and juicier it is, we bought a huge one last month, it was simply unbelievable
That is so awesome!! :)
I believe it

I tried one for the first time today and it’s a big taste change from a honeydew, but especially a watermelon. It is still very delicious and satisfying!
Glad you gave it a try! :)
Thanks for the video! Never heard of this canary melon before yesterday when I bought it, and I wasn’t sure how to cut it. And you’re right, it is wonderful!
You are so very welcome! I am happy you watched the video and found it helpful. And glad you tried it and liked it!
Fantastic review of the canary yellow honeydew melon , never tried this, but bought one, so now I know what to do with it
Thank you! Glad you got one to try. :)
Haha
You look so happy and content, thank you for this video, I will eat my melon now :)
Thank you!! :)
There are so very many health benefits to eating melons; and I'm not just talking carbs and calories either. Watched your other video on the lemon melon too, both very good. :)
I know right? Melons are so awesome. and thank you!! :)
I never herd of that melon either! Looks so good I definitely need to try that someday it looks more like a giant lemon!
Awesome! This one is more accessible I think then the Lemon Drop Melon that I did a few weekends ago.
One of my neighbors gave me a canary melon. It was by far the best and most hydrating fruit I've had (besides mango of course!😅)
Awesome, glad you got to try one and liked it!!
Thanks Matt! My kids and I will be having our first canary melon today! We appreciate you taking the time to make this video.
Awesome! You are welcome, let me know if you like it. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Best melon I've ever had! I can't believe I've ever had one before!
@@carriecattoni4537 Awesome!!
Hi, I have one of these melons that was given to me, never tried it until now, it is indeed sweet and delicious. I was wondering if the seeds can be planted to grow more melons? Thank you.
Yes!! Seeds from store bought melons usually grow well.
Hi, thanks for the video, pls, I will like to know, can you eat it with the peel. Is it safe to eat with the peel.
Yes it is safe to eat the peel but it is hard, so people if they are going to eat it cook it, or pickle it.
They’re surprisingly acidic so wash the juice from the skin. They’re known as Yellow Candy Melon here in Australia.
Can you eat the seeds and the cover of the fruit?
Mine was bright yellow and waxy outside, but the stem wasn’t really loosen but it was the size of yours for several weeks. So I picked it, /when I cut it in half, each half had one side slight green like a honeydew, and the other side light Orange like a cantaloupe. Does that two color variation mean I picked it too early? It tasted really good.
I think you picked it fine, as long as it was all yellow on the outside. Glad you grew it and liked it!
How do we know when it's ripe?
You should try the orangeglo watermelon it is very sweet and it has orange flesh the color of soda on the inside and it looks really tasty! I haven’t tried it for myself yet but I’ll be growing it in our garden this year!
Cool! Yeah, if I ever find them, I will definitely give them a try.
Yellow fleshed watermelon is good also.
I haven't seen orangeglo yet. But I'll be on the lookout
Tried this exotic fruit first time after it stayed on our fruit container for months. Great taste ❤
Awesome!
Just bought some frm a fruit vendor today I only remove the seeds after I eat all of it. is it good?
Awesome! I like it!
I just found one today. I can’t wait to cut it open. I’ve never seen one before and I’m excited 😃 I’ll definitely save the seeds. Thanks for the video!
You are very welcome, Diana! Let me know how you like it. :) :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt it was delicious! The texture is smooth and almost creamy? I’ve cleaned off the seeds. Melons don’t need to be stratified do they?
@@Diana-ze8wu So glad you liked them. No, just rinse the seeds off, and then dry them at room temp on a paper towel or tea towel or something. Then you should be able to store them in a sandwich bag.
Omgeeeee its so sweet! My melon ended up being a bowl of juice! 😋
Awesome!
😄 you enjoyed it. I'm going to try it for the first time, you just showed me how to munch this melon.
Awesome! Let me know if you like it once you try it.
In Algeria... We eat this throughout all summer 😍 it's my favorite fruit... You should definitely try an ice cream flavor of this fruit 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Awesome!
😮Ice Cream Flavor😋😋😋
Can we make juice and drink if it's half riped
i would wait until it is ripe. But yeah, I don't see why not.
I just a Canary Melon while shopping yesterday here in Illinois. Yummy very mild in flavor
Glad you got to try it and liked it!
Thanks for this video
You are very welcome!
Looks slurppy good!
It is!
These are great tasting melons. I could be wrong and they over-ripe, but I usually select the ones that actually have a bit of browning below the skin. They are sweet and soft. I'm not really sure how to pick one or what it looks like just before this stage. My cat Fonzie loves them.
Awesome! Such a great melon! And that is great your cat loves them too! haha
Hey I was wondering if there is any way to tell if a canary melon is ripe enough?
Hello! It should be completely bright yellow with no green, the blossom end will have a slight give to it when pressed, and the rind will develop a slight waxy feel. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Oh wow that is very informative. Thanks a lot for replying! Also i have a sun melon, so is it the same way, like the taste and everything?
@@sakthividhya9 You are welcome! I am not familiar with the Sun Melon, they do look similar, but I am not sure if they are the same melon or not. But it could be a different name for them.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Oh I see. Thanks so much for responding! New subscriber here.
@@sakthividhya9 You are welcome and thank you!
God Bless you mate.
Thank you, you too!!
Since you were listing places where they grow, India. We eat them here a lot every summer, I had lots of childhood memories around them
Nice!
What part of India does this usually grow in? I'm from Bangalore and this will be first time I'm going to try Sun/Canary Melon.
@@keerthi3086 I m from Mumbai, I wouldn't know where they grow exactly but I've had a lot of them over years
I had my first one today and it was sooooooooo good!
Awesome!! Glad you got to try it.
Thanks for this
You are very welcome!
How to preserve the melon. Say for example I eat one part of the melon today and I would like to eat other part of the melon the next day. So should I keep it in fridge or outside somewhere.
Wrap it in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. :) It will last a few days in the fridge once it is open.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Thank you very much
@@balajichandramohan9707 You are welcome!
Matt, how do you tell how to pick a ripe/sweet one ?
Hello Zena! Most melons including the Canary melon won't ripen after it is harvested. So it needs to be picked ripe. So if you are buying them at the store they should already be ripe. If growing them, wait until they are completely a rich deep yellow color like in the video, and the skin will have a slightly waxy feel and be nice and smooth. Here is more information about them. :) homeguides.sfgate.com/tell-canary-melons-ripe-70303.html
In The Kitchen With Matt : Thank You
So Much ! I have seen them in the stores but just didn’t know anything about them ! After watching your video I will purchase one and try !
@@kouklakee You are so very welcome! :)
@@kouklakee Me too! I love these videos.
How do we know it is ripe and ready to eat?
Most melons don't ripen after being picked, so chances are if you find them at the store they are already as ripe as they are going to get. But in general there should be a slight give to the blossom ends of the melon with a mild sweet fragrant.
How to know from outside if its time to eat it yet?
They rind/skin will be a bright yellow, and have a slightly waxy feel to it.
Thanx Matty.
You are welcome!
This melon is wonderful!
Agreed!
how do I know when is ripe?
Hi Doris! It will be completely yellow will no green. The skin/rind will have a slight waxy feel to it. The blossom end will be slightly soft.
You need more views bro 👍🏼👍🏼
Indeed! haha :)
Is Sun Crunch and Canary melons are same?
It's very possible, they definitely look similar don't they? I know Kroger stores here in the States sells them, but I haven't run across them yet. So I don't know for certain.
I like the idea but I think I might have to try this 😮😮😮❤😂😊
Give it a try!
Can we store it in refrigerator and for how much time?
Generally about a few weeks for most melons.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks 👍 we'll be eating this fruit for the first time.
You are welcome!! @@apryoutube
Thanks Matt
You are very welcome, Farah! :)
Is this fruit good for diabetics?
Yes most fruits especially melons are pretty good for diabetics because of low to medium glycemic score.
Hey, do gou eat the yellow rins too or not?
You probably can, but I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think it is toxic though. A lot of melons you can eat the skin, but people don't usually eat them because they are tough.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks for your choice in yeas or no of it, i also like the rind, watermelon one was nice
Welcome!@@bigel1874

Thanks!
Can I plant canary melon in Maryland?
Hi Jaqueline, if you grow other melons there, then you shouldn't have a trouble growing this one there. I have heard the Eastern Shore area of Maryland is good for growing melons.
Hey, Thanks Matt
You are very welcome!!
How do you know when is it right to eat ?
The blossom ends will have slight give and it will have a fragrant smell. With that said, melons don't ripen after you pick them. So if you find them in the market, they are most likely ripe.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thank you very much 😊
@@kalilahweeks5038 You are welcome!!
It costs nearly $1 (average size) in India. How much in your country?
That is a good price, $2 to $3 here for an average size.
Kaha pe
@@taitatu7390 meerut
awesome
Thanks!!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt no problem
I love this melon
Same!!
Hi Matt,
I love these new videos! Could you please do dragon fruit? They're offered now at my local supermarket but I don't know how to pick a good one or how to prepare it.
Thank you, Tiffany! I have actually been doing them for awhile now. :) Yes! Here is my dragon fruit video. th-cam.com/video/5-zK4-ewKuE/w-d-xo.html
I like watching him eat melon
haha thanks!
I just ate half canary melon thank u for teaching me
Welcome! Glad you tried it!
Mine tasted like honeydew and a slight lemon flavor!
Glad you tried it, James!
Good video : )
Thank you!
Are you supposed to eat the yellow skin?
No just eat the flesh on the inside.
Is it sweeter than Hami melon?
I don't know, I have never had a Hami melon. Never even seen one here in the States where I live.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Which state do you live in?
@@maxmankwan3468 Arizona. They may have them at the Asian Market I go to one in awhile, but I haven't seen them there when I have gone.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Oh, thanks, phoenix man.
@@maxmankwan3468 You are welcome!
Hi Matt,
Can you make a cake pop video because I dont know how to make them
Hello! Yep already have one. :) It is one of my most popular videos. th-cam.com/video/afz-uBP4xBg/w-d-xo.html
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks so much
@@malakyoussef8693 You are welcome! :)
nice👍🏻
Thanks!
I don't peel the the bark. I remove the seed and then eat the rest with bark, it's so, so sweet and satisfying. We have lot of this fruits in Nigerian. It easily grows here in Nigeria.
Thanks for sharing
You are welcome! Yes, you can definitely eat the skin/rind
🔥
Thank you!
I just bought one from Walmart it looked riped but it wasn’t as sweet but it was still delicious 😋
Nice!
Me too! I’m waiting a few days for it to ripen, but I cannot wait to dive in! Matt’s tasting got me mega amped and made my mouth water, lol, super looking forward to it though!
@@jeanniem.3367 Thank you! :) :) Definitely let me know how it tastes to you. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt, thank you, to be continued.....👌🏼
@@jeanniem.3367 You are welcome!
👍👏
Thank you!! :)
At the place where I get canary melon it’s false advertised as a golden honeydew melon
It may not be, there is a golden honeydew melon as well, which looks pretty close to the canary melon. :)
I know but those melons are canary melons they are soft honeydew melons are crunchy
@@abigailbaragrey71 Yeah the store probably didn't know the difference.
Yeah they do look the same
In England we call it honey melon
Awesome!
🤗
Thanks!
I kept seeds and im growing my own melons uk lol
nice!
How’s it going so far?
Just from june-sep
Or greenhouse scotland i mean 😕😕😕😕
@@kirsteentempleton2727 :) :)
Bout to eat one right now fpr the forst time
Cool! Let me know how you like it.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt yeah just taste like rock melon to me tbh
@@APEtv2Live The world of melons is funny, there can be tons of different varieties, but they all taste similar.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I was so upset
@@APEtv2Live Don't be upset, at least you tried something new, and know what it tastes like to you.
Love these melons but bought 1 the other day and it was solid inside noy much juice, I was so looking forward to having it buy the disappointment with this 1, I just wanted to return it to the supermarket and bounce it of the floor was so annoyed.
And it was a canary melon you bought? Probably just needed to wait for it to soften up a bit on the counter. :) But yeah, that is very annoying.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt it was the canary yellow, I buy them a lot and always soft and sweet, this 1 was hard and very dry.
@@essexceltic1 Yeah, disappointing indeed! That is how I feel when I buy a watermelon, that is super mushy instead of crisp, haha.
Mine is tiny compared to that one 😮
They definitely can be different sizes.
it's sun melon?
Hello, no not quite the same. The canary melon is also called the winter melon. The Sun melon looks similar but is a different melon. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt ouh i see. Tq info Chef
@@wiseleader974 You are welcome!
Just bought one today...hmmmm
Awesome!!! :)
They look like giant mangos
kinda do!
To be honest I don’t really care if a fruit is hecka sweet , I’d rather it not be hecka sweet and have more of a watery flavor
To each their own, for me it depends on the fruit. That is what is great about these melon varieties you can find them at varying degrees of sweetness, but most of them still are watery and refreshing.
looks good but hopefully you're the only one who ate that triple dipping
Yes I am the only one that ate it.
Just I'm eating one and winder how many calories on it so i search at Google but i fund that. So now I'm wondering again is there's anyone who doesn't know how to eat any kinds of fruit 🙃
Once you know how to eat one kind of melon you can eat most of them the same way, with a few exceptions.
Me
:)
Isn't that a honey melon ?
It is a Canary melon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_melon
John
Hope he is the only one that will be eating that since he is using a spoon he had in his mouth to get the juice.
Yes, I am the only one that ate it.
Spain uk
I stay scotland uk
Melons are easy to grow anywhere!!
@@kirsteentempleton2727 Pretty much yes! Depending on the kind, a lot of melons need hot dryer climate, so places up north need a greenhouse. But again, it depends on the melon.
You gonna break your teeth with your spoon bro... Keep it gently dude... 😝
huh? um no. There is no way I will break my teeth eating a melon, I am not stupid. I know how to eat with a spoon, haha.
first yeahhh hi
Awesome! Hi!
Mm mm mm
Indeed! Can't wait to eat more.
Crazy unnecessary ad
