Melons are members of the cucurbit species (which includes cucumbers) and are thought to originate in Southern Mexico and Central America.

Galia Melons are larger than a cantaloupe, and with deep green flesh

Honeydew melons are similar to cantaloupe in terms of texture, but most types of honeydew have a much sweeter flavor

Watermelons are largely made of water (more than 90%), and that's the likely reason for their name. They have a bright green hard rind and a deep pink fleshy pulp
