There are a few ways to check that the Cantalope is ready to cut. One way is to look for a yellow ring around the spot where you’ll be cutting it. Another way is by cutting into the fruit with a knife and inspecting how the flesh separates from the stone.
There are also some factors that can help determine when a Cantalope is ready, including:
- The color of its skin should be lighter than untreated tissue
- There should be no dark areas on the surface of the fruit
- There should be no wrinkles or blemishes in its skin
- It should not have any mold or soft spots on it
