64iD908CD6A31D87294My family loves cantaloupe. What’s not to love about this juicy, sweet melon? Just like watermelon, I think it’s a perfect staple of summer fruit (especially since it grows the best in warm weather.) When you’re picking out cantaloupe in the store, smell it. If it smells good, it will taste just as delicious. It should also be firm with just a little give. Cantaloupes are picked before they’re completely ripe, so once home they can take up to four days to ripen. Don’t worry though as this doesn’t change the sugar content. Leave on the counter until they are ripe, or until they have been cut- after that they belong in the refrigerator, and can last up to 3 days. My favorite way to eat a cantaloupe is to cut it in half, scoop out the rind, and eat the rest with a spoon!
