Asparagus and Sprite Melon Salad w/Cambozola and Pancetta

This fruit has origins in Japan and has been successfully cultivated in our own 'backyard' of North Carolina since the early 1990's . When ripe, this fruit is about the size of a grapefruit. The flesh of this melon is ivory to cream and can become a pale yellow with striations and mottling on the outside when fully ready to consume. The striations are caused by the sugars within the melon that are approximately 18% percent higher than that of other melons. The Sprite Melon has 150% of the daily allowance of Vitamin C per serving and no calories from fats. The taste is said to resemble a cross between a honeydew and a watermelon, and some suggest a hint of pear. The flesh is quite firm with an almost crisp, crunchy bite like that of an apple.
