As summer approaches, who doesn't crave a big bite of "corn"? With its sweetness, it's likely a favorite for many children. Then there's the "Earl's Melon," a symbol of luxury fruit. Its freshness and deliciousness go without saying. It is truly the "King of Fruits." The Toyohashi Tahara Wide-Area Agriculture Promotion Council is holding a midsummer food and agriculture activity, a harvest experience, where you can enjoy the two summer flavor giants with all five senses – seeing, hearing, touching, and actually harvesting them! "Corn" You'll Want to Bite Into Toyohashi City and Tahara City are major corn-producing areas, ranking high nationally in production value. Since sweetness and nutrients rapidly decrease after harvesting, it's best enjoyed fresh off the stalk. The key to delicious "corn" is a fresh, deep green husk, with kernels filling the cob to the tip, giving it a plump appearance. The many silks emerging from each kernel indicate densely packed kernels. Large, uniformly sized kernels are also secrets to its deliciousness. "Earl's Melon," Also Known as Musk Melon Toyohashi City and Tahara City are leading areas in Earl's Melon production nationwide. Temperature and humidity in the greenhouses are meticulously controlled, and thinning is performed so that only one fruit is produced per tree. Because it is cultivated with great care and time, it is called the "King of Fruits." A well-defined, raised, and evenly spread netting is a sign of a delicious melon. For melons of the same size, a heavier one is packed with more flavor. When you press the bottom part of the fruit – the "bottom" – and feel a slight softness, it's ready to eat.
