A cantaloupe is a cantaloupe...at least I thought it was, until yesterday, when I learned that for years I’ve been enjoying a musk in cantaloupe’s clothing. That’s because the cantaloupe commonly available in the United States is actually a muskmelon with reticulated, or net-like rind. True cantaloupes are native to Italy and only available in Europe.
Despite not being a true cantaloupe, the American Cantaloupe is still the most popular melon in the United States. Not bad for a muskmelon.
