Small Persian Melon Origin: Iran & Armenia Item #: MELON002 Melons of varying types have been known in Iran and Armenia (Persia) since ancient times. Reportedly, there is archaelogical evidence that melons were popular in Persia as early as 3000 BC and had already established themself as an important crop among the Persians. In fact, domestic muskmelons in general more than likely originated with the Persians, as they were not known by even the Greeks, until a thousand years later. Persian Melons have been documented in the United States for the last 200 years. Though little is known about that early history, what is known is that Thomas Jefferson grew them at Monticello and included them in his garden notes for the year 1816. For the next one hundred years, Persian Melons were very rare in the United States until following World War One, after having suffered genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, scores of Armenians immigrated to the United States. These Armenians, many of which who went to live in California, re-introduced the Persian Melon to the United States. Though they are similiar in appearance to traditional Muskmelons, Persian melons differ in a number of ways from their more popular counterparts. Firstly, due to having been cultivated in the Mid-East for over 5000 years, Persian Melon plants have a much deeper root system than other melons and require much less moisture than others. Secondly, their stems do not "slip" when their fruit is ripe and must be harvested bu cutting their stems, and thirdly, unlike other types of melons, Persian Melons do not typically ripen much further after being harvested. Though some websites devoted to recipes or food may give details on storing unripe Persian melons, for the best results, Persian Melons should only be harvested when ripe. Persian melons have a green colored rind with delicate netting and fine ribbing and weigh approximately 5 to 7 pounds each. Their flesh is salmon colored, has only a small seed cavity and possesses a very fine, fragrant taste. Matures in 115 days. An ideal melon variety for hot, dry climates.
