A Fruity Member of the Cucumber Family

I am a fruity member of the cucumber family. I am also a native of Africa and I have an old soul. In fact I have been cultivated and sucked upon well before 2000 B.C. My marbled skin is thick and rich in color. I am sweet and crisp and if the" weasel rip my flesh" it will reveal a vibrant red, pale pink or golden yellow. My fifty plus varieties differ in weight and size. My round cousins are the lightweights of the family, while my oblong uncles are more plump. Some of the gang on steroids can reach over 110 pounds. In certain regions my skin is pickled, candied,or fried, but I am usually found slurped, moon shaped, ragged, and discarded. My smooth little seeds, one of my more prominent features, are not very loyal as they are often found spat, spewed, or flicked. Some of the more distinguished members have no seeds at all, but they often get senile early, have no friends, and never any fun. I'm a good desert companion so take me along with the camel, but prepared for my diuretic effects. I am a small source of Vitamin C and Potassium.

What am I?

Japanese Honeydew
Tiger Baby
Watermelon
Muskmelons
