Sugar Baby melons are round “picnic” or “icebox” watermelons perfect for small families and as the name suggests, small enough to fit into the icebox. They weigh in at between 8 to 10 pounds (4-5 kg.) and are 7 to 8 inches (18-20 cm.) across. They have either a dark green with slight dark veins or medium green with dark veined rind. The flesh is sweet, red, firm, and crisp mottled with very few small, tan-black seeds. As its name implies, Sugar Baby Watermelons are one of the sweetest watermelon cultivars.
