Best Melon Cutting Japanese Skills (How to Cut a Cantaloupe)

Показать описание

The cantaloupe is a juicy, orange summer fruit that’s related to the watermelon and honeydew melon. It also belongs to the same plant family as cucumbers, pumpkins, squashes, and gourds.

The semi-sweet cantaloupes most familiar to people in the U.S. are a type of muskmelon called Cucumis melo reticulatus. The scientific name stems in part from the word “reticulated,” describing the cantaloupe’s rough, webbed outer skin.

People have grown cantaloupes for thousands of years. Most people agree it likely first grew in Persia (modern Iran). The fruit made its way to the New World with Christopher Columbus during his second voyage in the late 1400s.

Cantaloupe Nutrition
Like many fruits and vegetables, cantaloupe is mostly water. One cup of fresh cubes has 144 calories, 6% of your daily serving of fiber, and zero fat and cholesterol.

It also packs:

100% of the daily value for vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that protects your cells from damage

All your daily need for vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes, skin, bones, and immune system healthy

About 12% of your recommended daily potassium, important for your heart, muscles, and blood pressure

Cantaloupe is also full of vitamins and minerals like:

Folic acid
Calcium
Zinc
Copper
Iron
Vitamin K
Niacin
Choline
Magnesium
Phosphorus
Manganese
Selenium

Cantaloupe Health Benefits
It’s low in carbs. Cantaloupes are 90% water. That’s almost as juicy as a watermelon. The high amount of liquid content gives cantaloupes a low glycemic load score of 4. That means your body digests it slowly and it won’t make your blood sugar spike. So it’s a great pick for people with diabetes.

It hydrates you. Cantaloupes are filled with electrolytes. These minerals balance body fluids in your body and keep it working right. That helps you stay hydrated and full of energy.

It may help fight diseases. Compounds called phytonutrients in cantaloupes give it anti-inflammatory properties. It’s a good part of a healthy diet.

Wish me luck. I’ve got a Tuscan cantaloupe that I’ve has been rotating daily on my countertop for about 4 days now. Drooling over this thing so I’m going to cut it up now. I’ve yet to score a touchdown on any melons, plums. They’re always crunchy or tough and zero flavor. 😭
