Good Taste, Good Nutrition

Melons in all varieties are a source of Vitamins A, B and C. They're low in calories and taste great mixed with other fruits like grapes, oranges, papayas, mangoes, and more. Melon slices beautify main dish items and add cool refreshment as a counterpoint to hot foods. For breakfast to lunchtime snacks to desert, they're wonderfully versatile.

Keeping Melons Fresh And Beautiful

Cantaloupes are highly perishable, and should be stored properly (at 36º-38º F.). and handled carefully to avoid bruising. Honeydew melons are more sturdy and generally have a shelf life of two to three weeks when stored at 45º-50º F.. It's hard to bruise the thick hide of a watermelon, but they should also be stored at 40º-50º F. and relative humidity of 85-90% like all melons.
