A kind of hybrid watermelon with double-color flesh is selling for as much as 100 yuan apiece, but is catching on at supermarkets in Hangzhou and Ningbo. The watermelon called "double-color ice cream", has both red and yellow flesh and tastes refreshing.

Yong Hongwei, a local farmer who came up with the idea, found that the watermelon with red flesh was sweet, while the yellow flesh had a crisper taste. Yong wanted to put the two tastes together. With the help of experts in Shanghai Academy of Agriculture Sciences, the magic watermelon has finally been produced.
