Cantaloupe rind isn’t edible, but when you cut the fruit into hand-held wedges, you can eat the fruit right off the rind.

For a very small snack or to feed lots of people, cut each wedge in half again for a total of 16 wedges.

Discard the rind when there’s no orange fruit left on it.

As you peel the rind and green flesh from the cantaloupe, try to preserve as much of the edible orange flesh as possible.

The seeds can either be discarded into a compost bin or cleaned and roasted like pumpkin seeds. [9] X Research source

Once the cubes are cut, you can eat them alone with your fingers or a fork, turn them into other treats, or add them to your favorite foods.
