Like most fruits, Cantaloupes are high in Vitamin C and Vitamin A. They are also a good source of potassium and vitamin B6. It is a good idea to wash cantaloupe thoroughly before cutting into it, as the outside surface can contain Salmonella and other harmful bacteria. The fruit is usually kept from directly touching ground to help prevent rot. This can be achieved by putting cardboard, straw or blocks of wood under the fruit, or by trellising the plant. When trellised, the fruit must be support |

The fruit is popularly known as Kathal or kata-hal in Hindi throughout India. The Portuguese first arrived in India at Kozhikode (Calicut) on the Malabar Coast (Kerala) in 1498. The Malayalam name Chakka was recorded by Hendrik van Rheede (1678–1703) in the Hortus Malabaricus, vol. iii in Latin. Henry Yule translated the book in Jordanus Catalani's (1678–1703) |

Requires light, sandy, humus-rich, moist soil. Dry conditions can cause the plants to go to seed (known as bolting). It is normally grown by early and late sowing in sunny positions, or summer crops in shade.Ideally, lettuce plants require a rich, humous-laden soil that will hold moisture in the summer. They may require the soil to have lime added as a soil pH of 6.5 is just right. Quite often though, lettuce is grown between rows of slower growing plants like brussel sprouts or broccoli etc. Th |
