Once your cantaloupe is ripe, it's time to move it to the fridge to slow down the ripening process. But, be careful not to store it too close to strong-smelling foods, as cantaloupes can absorb odors like a sponge. And, don't even think about washing it before storing - excess moisture can lead to mold and rot!
Did you know that cantaloupes are actually a type of berry? Yep, it's true! And, they're also a great source of vitamin C and potassium. So, not only are they delicious, but they're also packed with nutrients.
