Watermelon

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) fruit has a smooth hard rind, usually green with dark green stripes or yellow spots, and a juicy, sweet interior flesh, usually deep red to pink, but sometimes orange, yellow, or white, with many seeds or seedless.

 

At Exoticfarm we grow our own and have developped over the years a great supply program for traditional and seedless cultivars. Among the main cultivars available we have:

  • Riverside: Watermelon with seeds, good weight ( 11.7 to 12 kg), maintains size uniformity in different cuts , blocky shape 39×24 cm. Good pollinator as well as high interior quality.
  • Quetzalli: Early maturing fruit has a sweet, smooth texture and refreshing watermelon flavor.
  • Maxima Seedless: Round to slight oval fruit with broad green and very dark stripes. Crisp and very deep red flesh, excellent flavor. The variety has an outstanding shelf life. Average weight of 19-22 lb. (9-10 Kg.) High lycopene content.

Packaging and Presentation

We employ a variety of packaging formats, but typically product is shipped in 30 Kg (65 Lb) cartons.
