BRIX (sugar) using a device called a refractometer we are able to gauge the sugar content of our melons through a process of light refraction. We strive for melons with the highest sugar levels that are shipped to our retailers and, ultimately, to you!

PSI (crispness/crunch) with a device referred to as the penetrometer, we are able to gauge the internal pressure (crispness) of our melons and in so doing, ensure that only those with perfectly firm flesh arrive at your door!

COLOR the color of our melons has more importance than you might think, it is an indicator of high anti-oxidant levels from such sources as Lycopene (watermelon) and Beta-carotene (cantaloupe).

These details are sent by satellite to our headquarters in California, and if we see an exception to our high quality assurance standards, we may halt harvesting immediately and resume only when the fruit is up to our satisfaction (and yours)!
