    Savvy Produce Shopping
    Light & Tasty 2005

    Ever bought a cantaloupe, honeydew melon or watermelon only to discover later that it�s
    spoiled. On your next shopping spree keep these tips in mind.

    Cantaloupe
    Look for smooth round cantaloupe with netting all the way around and a depressed area at the stem area. Then sniff it! If it has a �good cantaloupe aroma it�s the one for you.
    Avoid soft or bruised cantaloupe.

    Honey Dew Melon
    If the melon has a velvety texture, a yellowish-white to creamy white color and pleasing aroma, add it to your cart.
    Avoid hard, pure-white or green honeydews as well as those that are cut or bruised.

    Watermelon
    A good watermelon is roughly 92% water. Look for heavy smooth and symmetrical fruits with a dark red flesh and cream-colored area on the bottom.
    Avoid dented or bruised watermelon with white streaks or white seeds.
