Festival Showcases Special Melons
The Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department today introduced three unique varieties of organic watermelons for the Local Organic Watermelon Festival.
The Hami Yellow Flesh melon, from Japan, is oblong and features a green skin with stripes and a yellowish and orange flesh.
The spherical Super Sweet Black Angel 168 with its green striped skin and bright crimson-coloured flesh is a juicy melon from Australia, while the oblong Diana melon has an intense red flesh encased under a bright yellow striped skin and is remarkably sweet.
The festival is being held at various farmers’ markets, which sell local organic watermelons as well as other seasonal farm produce.
