Sugar Baby est la pastèque de type Icebox la plus populaire. Les fruits mûrissent pour atteindre 18 à 20 cm (7 à 8 po) de diamètre et pèsent 3,5 à 4,5 kg (8 à 10 lb) chacun. C'est la taille parfaite pour un régal familial. La chair rouge, très sucrée et croquante est un délice. Idéal pour une consommation fraîche, pour les pique-niques et les gourmandises estivales.
