Organic produce is grown on soil with no prohibited substances, such as pesticides and fertilizers, applied to it over the last three years. You can support more environmentally safe growing practices by purchasing organic cantaloupe, but there are few health benefits to choosing an organic melon over a conventionally grown one. The thick rind on cantaloupe protects the soft interior flesh from most pesticides or other contaminants. If you're looking for a nice compromise, you might choose conventional cantaloupe but avoid those grown in Mexico, where pesticides are used more heavily. You can purchase both conventional and organic cantaloupe easily through Instacart. Fill your cart online or via the Instacart app and enjoy convenient same-day delivery!
