Have you ever tried a Piel de Sapo melon? It literally translates to skin of the toad. It is low in calories, high in vitamin C and potassium, making it great for meals, snacks or desserts. It has a thick green outer rind resembling the skin of a toad, a juicy white flesh, and a taste somewhere between a honeydew and a pear.
