Cantaloupes The
terms cantaloupe and muskmelon are used somewhat interchangeably. What
is generally called cantaloupe in the west is really a muskmelon,
characterized by a webbed surface. Cantaloupes have a smooth and lumpy
skin with deep ridges. Cantaloupes were cultivated in the Nile valley in
2000BC. Cantaloupes
have significant amounts of Vitamins A and C, are a good source of
potassium, and contain small amounts of many other minerals. The rind is
rich in nutrients so the whole melon may be juiced. In places with a
suitable climate, cantaloupes may be grown all year long. However, extra
care must be taken for winter varieties as they are particularly
susceptible to disease. Cantaloupes
have a sweet fragrance when they are ripe and the blossom end of the
fruit should yield to moderate pressure. When you are selecting a melon,
avoid those with a stem. They have been picked too early. Store
un-ripened cantaloupes in a place out of the sunlight until they are
ripe. Then, they may be stored it the refrigerator. Cantaloupes are rich
in nutrients that fight disease, including cancer. They should be a
welcome and frequent visitor to your table. R.B.
