Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

July 29 - Cantaloupe History & Trivia:

What Americans call cantaloupes are actually muskmelons. True cantaloupes are not netted, have smooth to rough skin and are not commercially grown in the United States. Europeans recognize a clear distinction between cantaloupes and muskmelons.

Melons came originally from the Orient, via Armenia, to Europe and then to America.

OASIS has much more information on melons.
