Kajari melon, also known as Delhi melon, is a honeydew cultivar grown for its unique coloring. It weighs 2-3 pounds (0.9-1.3 kilograms) and originated in India, most likely in Punjab.[1] Its thin rind is red-orange in color with green vertical stripes, and the interior flesh is green, similar to a honeydew. It is able to grow in relatively short seasons and is hardy to several USDA zones, including zone 6. The flavor is said to be similar to honeydew but sweeter. It was introduced to the United States around 2014 by botanical explorer Joseph Simcox.[1][2]
