More than 500 kg of "milk watermelons" are available at Beijing markets now. Watered with milk, the pulp of these melons is sweeter than the ordinary ones. The milk watermelons are sold at 24 yuan per kg, 4 yuan higher than the regular watermelons.

A farmer surnamed Wang, who thought up the unique idea, said most of his "milk watermelons" have been booked in advance. Wang, who was inspired by the concept of "milk strawberry", has won the title of "watermelon king" in Daxing district of Beijing with this innovative idea.
