Perfect Ripeness
At HAMI EcoFarms, across all our varieties—Mizuki, Fujisawa, and Hikari, knowing when a muskmelon is ripe is simple with a few clear indicators:
Netting Pattern: Look for a fully formed netting around the stem (peduncle)—a sign the melon is ripe and ready.
Stem Drying: After harvest, if the stem starts drying, your melon has reached peak sweetness.
Fragrant Aroma: Mizuki gives off a sweet fragrance when they’re ready to eat.
Storage Recommendations
Room Temperature Ripening: Keep muskmelons at room temperature for 3–4 days to enhance sweetness.
Refrigerate for Freshness: Store ripe muskmelons in the fridge for 7–10 days.
