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.

Variety	Best for
Western (Rockmelon)	Everyday platters, salads, and smoothies: netted skin and orange flesh, juicy and aromatic; the standard US and Australian cantaloupe.
Charentais	Fresh eating and desserts: small French melon, deep orange flesh with an intense perfume.
Galia	Salads 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.
