Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe (actually a muskmelon) tempts you with extra sweet, juicy flesh and a delicious, musky fragrance that emanates through the melon when it’s ripe! In the same family as cucumber, squash, pumpkin, and gourd, the cantaloupe grows on a trailing vine, its many varieties offering round or oval shapes and colors ranging from orange-yellow to salmon. Cantaloupes are very easy to grow and contain few calories but are a great source of vitamins A and C and other nutrients. You’ll love the ease, flavor, and aroma of the cantaloupe!
