Melon was a plant bearing fleshy sweet fruit that varied in color from yellow to green, commonly grown in Velarsburg and the Dalelands.[1]
“
I winced as it slammed its heads into the stone again. The sound reminded me of my mother at the market, and how she used to thump melons. She would listen for that exact sound - only she and other women seem to know - that meant the melon was ripe. Somehow, I just knew she would pronounce this melon as rotten.

Usage[]
Melons were often consumed raw for their sweetness and refreshing flavor.[6]
Like other types of fruit, melons were used to make sweet pies, such as those served in Harfin Draether tavern of Athkatla.[7]
Mango-honeydew-ant pies were made on the Malatran Plateau during the annual Festival of Chief Booda.[8]
Availability[]
Melons could be commonly purchased in the markets of Waterdeep.[3] They were consumed by inhabitants of Sumbria in the Blade Kingdoms,[5] as well as in Arrabar in the Vilhon Reach,[4] and Ravens Bluff in the Vast.[9]
