How to Sweeten Cut Cantaloupe
As a part of the gourd family which includes pumpkin, squash and cucumber, cantaloupe is also grown on the ground. Cantaloupe is nutritionally high in Vitamins A and C as well as high in potassium. Wash cantaloupe thoroughly before cutting because its bumpy skin can harbor bacteria. Remove the flesh completely from the rind and cut into chunks to make it easier to eat. Sometimes the cantaloupe is not as sweet as you may want it, but this can be fixed.
