Galia Melon

The Galia melon, also known as sarda in Southeast Asia, is a type of hybrid melon. Developed in Israel.

According to the trade type definition, the fruits of the Galia have the following characteristics: the average weight for a Galia melon is one kilogram. They have a rounded shape, a dense netting of rough lines on the skin, and become yellow at full maturity; they are sweet and aromatic, with a special aroma and flavor and a very high content of total soluble solids. Ripeness is measured not by softness at the stem, but rather by color of the skin, when it starts turning from green to yellow.
