Dino melons are whimsically named after their resemblance to a dinosaur egg with its speckled, white and green flesh, and they are also known as Snowball melons in Great Britain.
"Dinosaur egg" is a nickname given to some varieties of pluot due to their dappled coloring. This delicious cross between an apricot and a plum happened thanks to a cross-breeding program (not genetic engineering) conducted by California breeder Floyd Zaiger.
Egg fruits are also commonly known as Canistel fruits and are a close relative of the well-known tropical fruit, sapota, or sapodilla. In addition to Canistel, the fruits are sometimes known as Yellow Sapote and are referred to by many other regional names worldwide.

Paddy melons (Cucumis myriocarpus) and Afghan/Camel melons (Citrullus lanatus) are common weeds across Australia, having originated from Sub-Saharan Africa, and introduced to Australia (along with camels) sometime in the mid-1800s. They're summer-growing annuals.
Description/Taste
Dino melons are aromatic and have a very sweet, subtly honeyed flavor with a hint of tartness. The flesh consistently averages 12 and above on the Brix scale, which is a high measurement of the amount of sugar found within the flesh, giving the melon its sweet taste.

When eaten, lucuma exacts a pulpy and creamy taste like the yolk of a sweet chicken egg, and will slowly turn bitter when eaten for too long.
Dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago, so any material left inside the eggs has usually been destroyed. Some dinosaur eggs with embryos inside have been found, but these are very rare.
Until the 1980s, discoveries of fossilized eggs and bones of young dinosaurs were extremely rare, but dinosaur eggs have now been discovered on several continents, and fossils of hatchlings, juveniles, and adults have been found for most major groups.
Genuine fossil eggs usually have an easily identifiable shell which differs significantly from the enclosed sediments either by having a fine surface ornamentation (the smoother the "shell," the less likely it is to be a non-bird dinosaur egg) or a specific type of crystalline structure in cross-section.
Poisonous, this melon appears following rainfall and looks and smells edible. The juice was used to treat skin infections, ringworm and scabies.
➢ Cantaloupe is called rock melon in Australia. ➢ Tap on the cantaloupe and listen to the sound it makes. If the sound is dull and deep, it is an indication that the cantaloupe is ripe.
In temperate regions of Australia sow Winter melon seeds from mid Spring to early Summer. In subtropical and tropical regions of Australia sow Winter melon seeds from early Spring to early Summer. Winter melon seeds have a seed coat that is resistant to water so they need to be be soaked prior to sowing.
