My cantaloupe is beginning to spoil it not rotten just tastes sweet with a seltzerlike taste can be used make smoothie?

It is not recommended to use spoiled cantaloupe, even in a smoothie. Spoiled cantaloupe can contain harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. Additionally, the seltzer-like taste may indicate that the cantaloupe is fermenting, which can produce alcohol and other compounds that can be harmful to consume.

If you are unsure whether a cantaloupe is still good, it is best to err on the side of caution and discard it. Look for signs of spoilage, such as:

- A soft, mushy texture

- A strong, unpleasant odor

- Visible mold or rot

- A sour or bitter taste

If you are concerned about wasting food, you can compost spoiled cantaloupe. Composting helps to break down organic matter into a nutrient-rich soil amendment.
