Fresh New Cantaloupe Recipes – a Treat for the Eyes and Taste Buds
California Cantaloupe season is back! And we’re so excited that we’ve wasted no time creating fresh new cantaloupe recipes for you to enjoy!
This season our talented friend Elizabeth Van Lierde (aka The College Housewife) helped us put together some tasty new cantaloupe recipes that are as easy on the taste buds as they are on the eyes. As the queen of effortless entertaining, we’re honored to have Elizabeth put together these recipes that are nothing short of perfection in our opinion.
Now that California cantaloupe is back for the summer, everyone needs to try these recipes at festive gatherings with friends and loved ones or as a tasty treat for a party of one! Along with cantaloupe, these recipes contain an array of other wonderful seasonal ingredients perfect for summer.
Thanks to all the fresh ingredients these recipes contain they don’t just taste and look great, they’re great for you too. Just the cantaloupe alone in these dishes provides an impressive array of nutrients like vitamin A, Vitamin C, antioxidants and much more. With recipes like these, eating healthy is easy!
And these recipes aren’t the only thing new this season. Plant breeders have been working for the past several years to develop new varieties of cantaloupes that last longer, which means less food waste! These new varieties are more than likely the cantaloupes you’ll find in your local grocery store this summer. You can expect these improved cantaloupe varieties to last for about one week on the counter or three weeks in the refrigerator, which means more time to make all these new recipes.
The new cantaloupe varieties are developed using traditional cross pollination methods of breeding (not GMO) and they still have that same sweet cantaloupe flavor we all love! Find tips for selecting these new varieties here and enjoy them in all our wonderful cantaloupe recipes.
