CANTALOUPES:

[Guest guest]

Cantaloupes are considered the most nutritious of all fruit. They are packed

with vitamins A and C. Per pound, cantaloupes have 3 times the vitamin A and C

content of apples. Cantaloupes also contain myoinositol, a lipid which helps

with anxiety, insomnia and in battling hardening of the arteries. Cantaloupes

contain the greatest amount of digestive enzymes of all the fruits. Cantaloupes

are recommended by the American Cancer Society as powerful agents in the fight

against intestinal cancer and the all-too-common skin cancer, melanoma. One

average-sized cantaloupe contains approximately 100 calories, yet is dense in

nutrients. This makes cantaloupes a perfect food for weight loss, delicious,

filling and low in calories. Cantaloupes should be purchased firm and

sweet-smelling, with a soft navel. To check for ripeness press firmly against

the fruit with your thumb. It should give a little, but not be soft. Some

cantaloupes can look decrepit, but produce excellent juice. A major part of the

cantaloupe's nutritional value is in the rind. Therefore, scrub the skin well

with water and an organic cleaner. Slice and juice it - rind, seeds, and all.

Fantastic! They are too easily overlooked, melons, perhaps because they're quite watery it's easy to think they won't contain all they do.... I've just got over a gastric flu (have to say a very rare occurence on a vegan diet!) and I've been craving melons... can see why from that vitamin and anti carcinogenic goodness.Beaheartwerk <jo.heartworkTo:

I have melon (honeydew) every day lately. Maybe I should change to canteloupe.

I love the fresh feeling of melons.
