➤ When: Summer would not be the same without melons. Enjoy all the different melons summer brings. Look specifically for Charentais, Galia, and Ambrosia; these varieties of muskmelon have a wonderful perfume.
➤ What to Look For: Not all melons are the same. A cantaloupe (a muskmelon) should have a tan or gold netting and be firm, fragrant, and heavy for its size. Honeydew should be creamy white, velvety, and slightly sticky on the surface. In general, melons are ripe if they are heavy for their size. For other hints of ripeness, sniff melons near the blossom end for sweetness, and press gently.
➤ How to Use: Melons are eaten raw or used in salads or as a topping for desserts. Blended with lime and sweetener, they make a refreshing drink.
