Notes

How do you buy really good melons you ask? Well, here's the deal.
Cantaloupe - Smell the cantaloupe where the fruit was cut from it's stem. It should smell very fragrant and sweet. If it doesn't, move on to the next one!
Honeydew - First, make sure the honeydew is green!! We don't want any grey-ish melons! You know that it's ready to eat when you can hear the seeds rattling around when you shake it near your ear. And don't be afraid to give it a gentle shake when there are other shoppers around, they can judge all they want, but at least you're going to go home with a great piece of fruit!
