Hey, yellow watermelon!

One of the fun things about the CSA box is that we get to see unusual varieties of familiar produce. Take this week's large box. We got a nice watermelon, about the size of a school globe but much heavier. Cut into it, and.....

IT'S YELLOW.

Yes, watermelon comes in many colors besides the usual familiar pinkish red. We seem to have a Yellow Crimson watermelon this week. Does it taste any different from the ordinary color? I'm looking forward to finding out. Might be fun to make a granita with, for example.
