[@justelementt1538]

information is so valuable, Thank you. We much appreciate your recaps and comparisons.

[@carladbbee3637]

Love this Honeydew video. I needed the information and the laughs were a plus. It was funny hearing you want to take a bite out of that slice right away, because it must have smelled delicious. The funny face at the end was humorous too. Thank you:)

[@FoodChainTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Loving the dad jokes

I did not know about pressing on the honeydew's belly button! I will do that when I go to the grocery store next!

[@morganmyers6991]

[@Karjar568]

Thank you! I am growing honeydew in my garden this year and was clueless until I watched your video! Great information 😊

[@jeffnay6502]

I have just started growing a few Honeydew melon plants, in my new garden beds. However I have had problems with the soil and with some invisible insects eating the leaves off my Honeydew melons as well as my cucumbers. Although I do have one small, but very cute honeydew melon growing on one of my plants. 😊

[@Rooster-zv8nf]

One of my favorite fruits but stopped buying because I always ended up with dry and hard or too mushy. Same with cantaloupe. Can't wait to try this out.

[@VTownGregory]

#3 is my favorite ripeness. It's incredibly sweet and not really blimey but very soft.

[@LessThanHandy]

Thank you!

[@bobbyadkins6983]

One of my favorite fruits.

[@j.t.1215]

HAHAHA the melon smileyface at the end ❤

[@joeblobyisme3708]

😂

[@sandyblue4235]

Love the smiley face

[@poke-talia268]

I threw the seeds from one i ate in the spring into my garden. Well, they took over (luckily, everything else was in pots and able to be moved. ) Well, now, they're getting big and I'm hoping this video will help me with picking them at the right level of ripe.

I like a good yellow meated melon but honeydew is by far my favorite melon to eat !! A Sweet juicy honeydew ‘ Is as good as it gets !! Happy eating !!

[@juliab4714]

Perfect answer to my question of how to know if a honeydew melon e is ripe. If I buy one that isn't quite ready is there a way to store them so they do ripen please? My cat loves them and if they aren't just right she turns her nose up and walks away. (That's how I know if they are ok but it's too late cos I've already cut into them. I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos. Thank you

[@FoodChainTV]

As far as I know, a honeydew melon will not ripen after it's picked from the vine. If you let it sit on your kitchen counter, it will get softer, but not sweeter. So, you're better off buying one that is ripe at the store.

[@territalk1893]

Will it ripen more on my counter like my cantaloupe does?

[@WomanTakenBytheWind]

A farmer taught me the stem trick one day while i was standing at the melons doing my Asian tap and smell 😂 i do the push now too.

[@kaylacombs6254]

I think that's more for watermelons. For cantaloupe and honeydew I always look at the color, smell and slight softness

[@hgm38]

When is the best time of the year to buy it.

[@pixieb8952]

Such helpful videos is it possible that the unripe melon would ripen after keeping for a few days the one l had delivered today is obviously unripe anyway thankyou for all your hard work 😊

[@FoodChainTV]

Yes, you can leave it on your kitchen counter and wait for it to ripen. It will either ripen, or rot, depending on ambient temp and humidity. But, most likely, it will ripen.

[@sandyblue4235]

I've bought them green and ripened then at home but watch ut closely.

[@sandyblue4235]

So once you cut one can it ripen?

[@FoodChainTV]

Once it's cut, I don't think it can ripen. But the starches can break down into simple sugars, so it might get softer and somewhat slightly sweeter.

[@charlesfeher8092]

Can you do a dragon fruit video?

[@FoodChainTV]

Thanks, Charles! Everyone check out Charle's channel www.youtube.com/@charlesvideogamer2482

[@Mysanle]

Very good skill 👍

[@BassGods]

That last Bonus Honeydew tasting like Alcohol? Doesn't sound bad at all. 😂

[@sandyblue4235]

I knew about smelling the end my boyfriend worked in produce

[@jeffnay6502]

What can you do if you pick a melon that you know is not ripe yet???

[@FoodChainTV]

Put it back and buy something else?

[@anthonyr7902]

There’s bubbles in mine 🤔

[@FoodChainTV]

I wouldn't eat fruit that is so rotten that it's effervescing.

[@puffythecampfireplayer6143]

The stem end should be the belly button. It’s like the umbilical cord which attaches to the belly button.

[@BLUEISME42]

Did you say alcohol!❤

[@brendarandolph1168]

Why can't you cut it or trim the peel like you do with a watermelon?

[@gpilsitz1783]

Can, but it's slippery!

[@teeshebas2478]

If you cut it across instead of lengthwise, you can rotate it on your cutting board (or rotate your cutting board) to cut the rind off like you do with watermelon (taking the seeds out first). I do this for cantaloupe as well.
