Nunhems is presenting the new generation of Galia melons. The company's Kirene variety helps growers and consumers to decide if the melon is actually ripe or not. For consumers it can be a challenge to know if the galia melon that they are holding is ready for the eating.

With Numhems' Kirene melon, these problems are being addressed with a very unique solution. Until it is ripe, the Kirene has a green skin colour and only when it is fully mature will the skin turn bright yellow in a matter of 1 or 2 days, according to the company. At this point the Kirene melon is very sweet, aromatic and delicious.

Kirene gives the consumer exactly what they want: a great melon eating experience without any risk of buying an unripe melon. The Kirene can lead to many repeat purchases with this new convenient attribute; good news for all retailers, traders and growers that deal with this melon. Kirene has been developed by Nunhems, the vegetable seed business of Bayer CropScience.
