The Korean melon (Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa) or chamwae (참외) is a type of melon primarily grown in Korea, China, and Japan. The fruit is approximately 10 cm long and typically weighs slightly over 1 pound (0.45 kg). It is smooth, yellow, and oblong with white stripes that run the length of the fruit. It has white flesh that is juicy and sweet, and the seed cavity is filled with small white seeds. The flavor has been described as a cross between a honeydew melon and a cucumber.
