What are the producing areas of cantaloupe? Cantaloupe can be divided into several kinds of how to choose cantaloupe.

Cantaloupe can be divided into three kinds.

Reticulated cantaloupe, of course, has a reticulated skin and green, white and orange flesh.

Hami ​​ melon, oval in shape, is improved from Xinjiang original Hami melon. Its appearance is long oval and its flesh is orange. The biggest difference between Hami melon and cantaloupe is its crisp flesh.

Light-skinned cantaloupe has a smooth skin with white green meat and yellow white meat. It also has a close relative named Meinonggua.

Muskmelon is produced all over Taiwan.

From the introduction of cantaloupe from the United States and Japan in 1957 to the promotion and cultivation of new varieties in 1970, Taiwan has gradually become a fruit eaten in all seasons, with the best quality in spring, but the cheapest price in summer, which is the most suitable for eating melons.

Because of its wide variety, muskmelon is widely distributed in Taiwan. Chiagu, Dongshan, Chiayi, Pingtung, Yunlin and other places in Tainan all have a large planting area. Because of its proximity to the coastal area, the soil and salt are suitable for the growth of muskmelon. Yunlin Lunbei has also become a famous producing area in recent years.

On the other hand, cantaloupe, which does not produce much in Taiwan, is the most representative of Ilan Zhuangwei, which is close to the lower reaches of Lanyang Creek and belongs to sandy soil. there is a large temperature difference between day and night in spring and summer, making the fruit fuller, and it is even called "the hometown of cantaloupe."

Melons are rich in water, and muskmelon is rich in vitamin C and A, which can quench thirst and relieve fever. Its sugar accumulation is mainly in the week before maturity, so it is too early to harvest sweetness and meat quality, fully mature and not resistant to storage and transportation, so timely harvest needs empirical judgment.

It has the characteristics of post-ripening. It is stored at room temperature for 2-3 days after harvest, when the navel is softened and the aroma is the best.

When choosing and buying muskmelon, we should look for dense net pattern, especially near the fruit stalk, and the higher the quality is along the pedicel, the higher the quality is. If it is a smooth muskmelon, of course, it is necessary to choose a smooth and complete appearance, which represents a more stable quality. Take advantage of the sweet and cheap time to taste the sweet, sweet but not greasy, refreshing and juicy melons with different flavors and tastes.
