CANTALOUPE

CANTALOUPE: Although it’s not easy to cut into the thick-skinned gourd descendant, it’s well worth the effort. The oftentimes-overlooked, nutrient-dense cantaloupe has more beta-carotene than oranges, an exhaustive supply of vitamin C, a plethora of B’s and a healthy dose of K. Not to mention it’s refreshingly sweet, juicy, high in water content and can be used in a loaf, smoothie, sorbet, soup or salad. And if you’re feeling adventurous, it can also be used as a vessel!
