Humb'ma

The Humb'ma (/'hʌmˌbə.mə/ HUMbəmə) is a type of melon native to Kheeban. It has a richly sweet, yet mellow flavor, and is a favorite food among the veyluu. It has a distinctive green rind, with vibrantly pink flesh and black, teardrop shaped seeds. Its seeds are sweet and crunchy, with a somewhat chalky consistency and a strongly tart flavor. The majority of the melons' mass is comprised of water. Though it bears similarities to Earth watermelons, it can be distinguished by the pattern of its rind, the color of its flesh, and its stronger flavor.
