Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) or muskmelon is a favorite breakfast melon and is also good as an appetizer or constituent in fruit salads. The cantaloupe is native to Africa, Iran, and India. The North American variety is closely related to muskmelon with a firm, orange, moderately sweet flesh and a thin, reticulated, light-brown rind. The European cantaloupe looks different from the North American variety with a gray-green skin.
