CANTELOUPE
Canteloupes are amazing fresh, so DON"T TREAT OUR FARM MELONS LIKE YOU GOT THEM FROM THE STORE!! We harvest our melons when they are ripe, unlike the melons from the store. Therefore, don't leave the melons on the counter for over a week...they'll get old and the flavor will be lost. Store bought melons are harvested unripe so they have less flavor and less of the nutrients, too.
QUICK IDEAS: slice and serve with breakfast, add cottage cheese to the melon; add to a salad
Cantaloupe and Cucumber Salad: serves 4-6
