Cantaloupes are definitely one of the most delicious fruits.
I always love having this as a snack.
It has this orange flesh that is sweet, tender, and juicy.

They almost taste like a dessert.
Plus, they have tons of health benefits, like fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
But not all of them are that good.
Sometimes, they can be bland and crunchy.
So, how do you tell if its ripe and perfect to eat?
You only need to consider 5 things when picking the best one in the grocery.
Try this out next time you are going to buy a cantaloupe in the store.
Your melon should not be green or have any black or green mold.
2 -Texture
The rough texture on the skin is called netting.
When you rub it, it should feel rough.
If its smooth, that means its still not ripe enough.
3 Indented stem
The stem should be indented.
4 Weight
Choose a cantaloupe that is a little too heavy for its size.
A lightweight one is still green or its too old or dried out.
5 Smell
The smell will help you determine the right cantaloupe.
It should have a sweet aroma.
