The international seed company Rijk Zwaan will be introducing their new Beach melon concept, including their new Cayucos Beach RZ at this years PMA Fresh Summit.
These are new Cantaloupe varieties which the company explains have a unique combination of taste and shelf life – which they think can help open up opportunities in the USA for growers, retailers and food service companies.
"The Beach varieties Cayucos Beach RZ and Santa Monica Beach RZ are an excellent alternative to traditional Cantaloupes that taste great but have only a limited shelf life."
"The Beach melons combines characteristics that deliver an aromatic flavour profile and good shelf life. A Beach variety is therefore an ideal mix of the Western Shipper and Harper types. What’s more, the up-to-date package of disease and pest resistances gives growers the harvesting reliability they need," Rijk Zwaan told in a release.
Rijk Zwaan will be showing off the new varieties at the PMA Fresh Summit on October 21st at booth 2417, in New Orleans, United States with a theme of the "beach life".
