Best Answer

The melon that Americans call cantaloupe is truly a muskmelon. True cantaloupes are mainly grown in Europe and have a rough, warty surface quite different from the melons grown in the United States. The American "cantaloupe" is the most nutritious melon of all and is related to the squash family, somewhere between the winter and summer squash in terms of nutrition.
