Cantaloupe , also known as cantaloupe , cantaloupe, cantaloupe, reticulated melon. Cantaloupe is a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family and is a variety of melon. It is derived from the Turkic word “Kabo”, which means “melon”. Only Xinjiang and Dunhuang in Gansu produce cantaloupe in China. Except for a few high-cold areas in Xinjiang, Hami melons are produced in most areas. The best quality Hami melons are produced in Jiashi County, Hami and Turpan Basins in southern Xinjiang. There are more than 180 varieties and types of cantaloupe in Xinjiang, including early-maturing summer melon and late-maturing winter melon . Winter melon is shelf-stable, and the winter melon collected by local people in Xinjiang can be put in the next spring, and the taste is still fresh. The cantaloupe has the reputation of “the king of melons”, with a sugar content of about 15%, various shapes and unique flavors, some with creamy flavor, and some with lemon scent, but they are all sweet as honey and have a unique fragrance. Renowned at home and abroad. Among many varieties of cantaloupe, “Red Heart Crisp” and “Golden Dragon” have the best quality. Cantaloupe is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrition and high in medicinal value.
