Cantaloupe
Cantaloupes are easily identified by their sweet fragrance and taste. It’s name actually derives from the Italian papal village of Cantalop, where historians believe it was first cultivated around 1700 A.D. This ancient fruit is great for a variety of recipes and even as garnish. It can be enjoyed during any meal occasion – wrap prosciutto around it for a fancy appetizer, puree it for a delicious soup, or hollow it out and use it as a bowl for fruit salad!
