Rockmelon
Rockmelons have been eaten for millennia, but they were first cultivated near Cantalupo, Italy, hence their other name, “cantaloupe”. When they are in season the flesh will be deep orange and juicy, with a warming, musky flavour. Rockmelons are perfect to eat raw, but you can get creative with them too. They add great texture and flavour to a salad and partner nicely with avocado, prosciutto, strawberries or pasta. Of course, rockmelon makes for a perfect smoothie or sorbet and goes well in a salsa. If you are feeling adventurous try it with some creamed tofu and miso.…
