The cantaloupe melons seem to be running large this season.
The market has a fresh batch from Central America, and they are on sale this week.
I couldn't believe the size of the melon that I was getting for only $1.50.
I weighted it when I got home - 5 pounds on the button.
Now, that is going to be a heavy melon on our innards, or it is going to have us running to the bathroom from all it's water content.
It is a very tasty one - sweet and just the right ripeness.
Due to their textured skins, I always make sure I scrub them with a brush under running water to remove the potential harmful bacteria that settles into the nooks and crannies in the rind.
Cubed and served, they sure are a healthy, delicious snack!
