PRODUCT BUYING TIPS
Melon photo Melon
A ripe melon is heavy for its size with a firm rind, a slight softening and a sweet aroma at the blossom end. Avoid an overly ripe melon or one with dark, soft or sunken spots. A melon's sugar content does not increase after picking, so avoid immature fruits.
  • Cantaloupe - Most available of the melons. Cantaloupe is usually sold when mature but not dead ripe. Purchase a cantaloupe with no stem or stem fragment. Hold it at room temperature until it has a pleasant cantaloupe aroma and yields slightly to light thumb pressure on the blossom end and when the rind's netting is pronounced with a dull yellowish cast.
  • Honeydew - Large with a smooth, very pale green skin and sweet light-green flesh. A slight "bloom," faint netting and a slightly sticky feeling on the skin indicate ripe honeydew. If it is hard with a white or green-white rind, the honeydew was picked prematurely and will not become sweet.

    Look for a plump nectarine with a rich (rather than bright) color and a slight softening along the "seam" of the fruit.
