Legend Produce says its domestic Origami cantaloupe season has arrived and is off to an outstanding start.

Following several months of imports, Legend Produce says the arrival of this premium melon signals the return of fresh, U.S.-grown fruit. Fields are producing beautiful, high-quality melons with strong yields, vibrant appearance and exceptional flavor profile, according to the company.

Legend Produce says Origami continues to set itself apart as a unique variety, delivering both early-season durability and exceptional eating quality. It highlights that current harvests are measuring 15 to 16 Brix, offering high sugar levels that translate into bold sweetness. Origami consistently delivers a balanced profile of rich aroma, smooth texture and a clean, memorable finish that defines premium cantaloupe, the company says.

“There is no other variety on the market that performs like Origami this time of year,” says Barry Zwillinger, partner of Legend Produce. “We’ve seen other melons come in early with decent numbers, but they simply don’t match the flavor and aroma profile. Origami holds its integrity in the field and delivers the full eating experience customers expect. Year after year, retail data confirms it: Consumers choose Origami, and our customers are asking for it by name.”

Legend Produce says that with its production underway in Yuma, Ariz., and California, it is positioned to deliver a consistent, high-quality supply of Origami cantaloupes throughout the domestic season.
