Tigger melons are a small varietal that only reaches about half a kilogram in weight and has a round to oval shape with uniformly curved ends. The melon's skin is semi-thick, taut, smooth, and hard, showcasing a vibrant mottled and variegated striping. Tigger melons transform from dark and light green striping to a bright orange, crimson, to golden yellow hue, and each melon will have varying striping and degree of saturated coloring, depending on cultivation. Underneath the surface, the ivory flesh is firm, dense, and aqueous with a crisp, succulent consistency. The flesh also encases a central cavity filled with cream-colored oval seeds suspended in a mixture of gelatinous liquid and white fibers. Tigger melons are known for their permeating fragrance, said to smell sweet, fruity, and nectar-like. Contrasting the heady aroma, the flesh is very mild, subtly sweet, and somewhat muted, reminiscent of the neutrality of Asian pears.
