Not too late for cantaloupe
For two summers I have stayed away from cantaloupe because it is listed as an avoid in Live Right 4 Your Type, the Type O Food & Beverage Guide, and TYPEbase here on the website. Sure I have missed them, but (sigh) I miss a lot of avoids.
According to the new TYPEbase4, cantaloupe (at least what they call cantaloupe in my part of the country) is neutral. If you haven't looked at TYPEbase4, it is worth it even if you don't like cantaloupe. Go to Dr. D'Adamo's WEBlog; scroll past today's entry to one called TYPEbase4. Click on the link to TYPEbase4 beta.
Go the fruit section and click on cantaloupe. What is pictured doesn't look anything like what my grocer markets as cantaloupe! The write-up says, "American ‘cantaloupes' are actually muskmelons." Now go to muskmelon - does it look familiar? And it's neutral!
My grocer had cantaloupe/muskmelons on sale for 69 cents apiece today. I bought two. It will be our salad for dinner tonight. I'm just glad the season isn't over and it's not too late to enjoy cantaloupe.
I'm wondering what other surprises I will find as I explore the new information, pictures and recipes in TYPEbase4.
