Watermelon & Cantaloup Recipe Question Answered

June 8th, 2009

Auntie E of Auntie E’s  Yard and Garden asked a question about cantaloupe and watermelon.

Reader Question:

Now the Watermelon. I can never hear the sound. it there anther way? I love cantaloupes but can never buy one that is sweet. My mother was very good at choosing one. any suggesting for Me?

Ms Recipe’s Answer:

Here are a few tips on choosing watermelon or cantaloupes:

A watermelon with a white bottom is not ready to be eaten.
A cantaloupe with a green tinge under the netting or green at all is not ready to eat.
A cantaloupe stem that smells like a cantaloupe is ready to eat. The stem is the end that has the deepest indention.
You should not buy a cantaloupe with multiple soft spots

Thanks for asking a Question.

    These tips are great! I didn’t know about the cantalope not being ready to eat if there is a tinge of green under the netting. I am armed with new knowledge next time I hit the market. THANKS!
