Notes:
The Cantaloupe is an African creeping plant. It was brought in the Southern Mediterranean by the Egyptians in the V Century B.C., and arrived in Rome during the Christian age of the Empire. From there, it quickly spread over Europe. It was considered a symbol of fertility, but ironically, in spite of it’s abundant summer blooming(May to September), only 10% of it’s flowers grow to become actual fruits. Today, China is the largest producer of Cantaloupe, with the 51% of the total world production. Once brought home, a melon must not be stored at temperatures lower than 5°C.
