Cantaloupe varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common cantaloupe varieties compare.

VarietyBest for
Western (Rockmelon)Everyday platters, salads, and smoothies: netted skin and orange flesh, juicy and aromatic; the standard US and Australian cantaloupe.
CharentaisFresh eating and desserts: small French melon, deep orange flesh with an intense perfume.
GaliaSalads and fruit bowls: green-gold flesh, sweet and mild with a soft texture.

Which should I pick?

For fruit platters, salads, and smoothies, the netted Western cantaloupe (sold as rockmelon in Australia) is the everyday pick: orange flesh, juicy and aromatic. No Western melon? Charentais is a smaller French type with intense perfume and deep orange flesh, and Galia has green-gold flesh with a sweeter, milder taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cups is one medium cantaloupe?
One medium cantaloupe (about 1100 g) gives roughly 6.88 cups of chopped flesh. A small one (around 800 g) yields about 5 cups and a large one (around 1500 g) about 9.38 cups, so set the size selector to match the cantaloupes you actually have before you trust the figure. Open cantaloupe converter
How much does a medium cantaloupe weigh?
A medium cantaloupe weighs about 1100 g, with a small one around 800 g and a large one near 1500 g. That range changes the weight of any recipe that counts cantaloupes by the piece, so set the size selector to match what you actually have before trusting a cup or gram figure.
How much does an average cantaloupe weigh?
An average cantaloupe is the same as a medium one: about 1100 g. A small cantaloupe is lighter at around 800 g and a large one heavier at about 1500 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts cantaloupes by the piece rather than by weight.
Which cantaloupe variety should I use?
For fruit platters, salads, and smoothies, the netted Western cantaloupe (sold as rockmelon in Australia) is the everyday pick: orange flesh, juicy and aromatic. No Western melon? Charentais is a smaller French type with intense perfume and deep orange flesh, and Galia has green-gold flesh with a sweeter, milder taste.
How much does a large cantaloupe weigh?
A large cantaloupe weighs about 1500 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 1100 g or a small one at 800 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger cantaloupes you actually have on the counter.
