Piel de sapo
Fruit
Fruit bowl
The piel de sapo has a green, knobbly skin. It resembles the skin of a toad. That is also where this melon gets its name (piel = skin, sapo = toad). In terms of taste, this melon is a winner: the white flesh tastes deliciously sweet.

Preparation & storage
Storage
Do not store melons in the fridge. The cold interferes with the ripening process.
It is better to keep ripe melons in the fridge.
Keep melon pieces and segments in the fridge, wrap them in aluminium foil or plastic film. They will then keep for a maximum of 3 days.
Bear in mind that melons give off a strong, sweet odour. Dairy products can easily absorb this.
In the freezer, melon will keep for up to 12 months at a minimum of -18°C.
How do I know if the melon is no longer good? The melon is discoloured or mouldy. You can quickly recognise spoilage by looking, smelling or tasting.
Preparation
Wash the melon before use.
Cut the melon into slices. Remove the skin and seeds. If necessary, cut the slices into pieces. You can also use a special melon spoon to cut out small balls.
