Canary melons are known by several names, including Spanish melon, Juan Canary, Jaune des Canaries, Amarillo melon, Spanish Melon, and San Juan Canary Melon. 

Canary melons lack the musky aroma commonly associated with muskmelons and are primarily grown worldwide for fresh eating.

Canary melons have a complex, sweet and tangy flavor well suited for chilled, fresh preparations. 
The specialty fruits contain a less musky scent than other muskmelon varieties, allowing the flesh not to overpower a dish and complement a wide variety of ingredients. 
The melons can be sliced in half, the seeds discarded, and consumed straight, out of hand. 
The flesh can also be cut and displayed on appetizer plates, chopped and added to green and fruit salads, diced into salsa, or sprinkled with citrus juice, salt, or ginger as a tangy snack. 
In addition to fresh slices, Canary melons can be blended into smoothies, juiced into fruit punches, cocktails, and mocktails, incorporated into chilled soups, or combined with herbs as a flavorful side dish. 
The melons can also be cooked into jam, used as a filling in baked goods, or blended frozen into granitas, popsicles, and sherbet. 
Canary melons pair well with honey, ginger, citrus, cucumbers, herbs such as basil, cilantro, and mint, fennel, cheeses including ricotta, mascarpone, and halloumi, apples, berries, kiwis, and oranges. 
Whole, uncut Canary melons will keep for a couple of days at room temperature and 10 to 14 days when stored in the refrigerator.
