The cantaloupe variety sold in the United States is a member of the muskmelon family. Cantaloupes are available all year, as they are imported from Mexico throughout the winter. Store ripe and/or cut melons in the refrigerator for no more than two to three days. Uncut melons may be left to ripen at room temperature. They will become softer and juicier, but their sweetness will not improve.
