Organic Cantaloupe

Uses:

All melons are believed to have originated in India, cultivated since ancient times. Currently, there are many different hybrids of the melon, but cantaloupe is by far the most popular. All Cantaloupes have netted skins but their flesh colors range from orange-yellow to salmon. They have a flowery fragrance and are sweet and juicy. These flavorful treasures are now even better because they are organically grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides. Melissa's Organic label reads: “Melissa's Certified Organic Produce is free of artificial or synthetic fertilizers and full of unforgettable, great tasting flavor. Our farmers use traditional earth-friendly farming methods inspected by a nationally recognized agency to verify organic authenticity. Melissa's Organic Produce, a choice made closer to nature.” Try innovative new ways to use this fruit, such as pureeing it with other fruits as a cold soup or using them as bowls to serve fruit salad, as well as a garnish.
