About Cantaloupe:

Cantaloupes are a type of musk melon.  Rich in carotenes, the inner flesh of the cantaloupe is sweet and juicy with a bright orange color.  Select cantaloupes that have a veined rind (avoid smooth ones) and that are yellowish or turning yellow (as pictured).  Cantaloupes are ripe when they become slightly soft and you can smell their aroma.  We enjoy cantaloupes in fruit smoothies, cut or sectioned, and in fruit platters and salads.  See the nutritional chart below.
