Are these still grown in 32 bit format? I have old tastes.

I have papaya juice every day as part of breakfast, but I live in Peru, a tropical country. English seems to have more words for different kinds of melons than Spanish. I've seen honeydews, cantaloupes, Persian melons and others and they all go by the name melon. Watermelon is sandia. Peru, by the way, is close to being the world's chief exporter of blueberries (mostly to the US), and five years ago you didn't even see them here. I have these every day as well, as they're available year round.
