Melon

Fairbanks Seeds offers you a wide variety of Syngenta rockmelon seeds. This portfolio provides a fantastic array of seeds ideal for both cool and summer production. Also known as Cantaloupe, rockmelon belongs to the Cucumis melo species from the family Cucurbitaceae.

Our range of rockmelon has an exceptional variety of seeds that produce fruit that have a significantly longer shelf life, excellent fruit size and uniformity, attractive netting, a highly concentrated fruit set, and firm flesh and tight cavity that maximises harvest flexibility and field holding.

A uniquely diverse fruit, the rockmelon is a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, antioxidants and fibre. Its low-caloric properties make it a popular healthy snack and dessert choice.

Rockmelon can be consumed raw as a snack, sliced, added to salads and fruit bowls, or blended into smoothies. In some cuisines, it is often paired with savoury ingredients, such as prosciutto or feta cheese, to create a flavoured dish, such as antipasto. The seeds are edible and are dried and widely consumed as a snack.
