Oranges scored 49, grapefruit 42, bananas, 86, and apples, 28. The centers nutrition scoreboard represents the overall nutritional value uf food in a single number. The complicated formula used to derive the score takes into account current scientific knowledge relating to health and disease. High in Vitamin C and Vitamin A, a cantaloupe contains only 50 calories and no fat or cholesterol. Naturally rich in potassium and other essential minerals, cantaloupe is a healthy food choice. In the past, one of the advantages apples and bananas have had over cantaloupe was the ability to maintain high quality one-quart- er . taste after being shipped long distances. Bananas and apples no ' longer have that edge over cantaloupe. . A new Western Shipper cantaloupe, developed by the Asgrow Seed Company and grown and packed by TRI Produce Company in the San Joaquin Valley of California, maintains a sweet taste and firm texture over long shipping distances. This sutureless hybrid, called Mission, was developed with high natural sugar content, improved flavor and uniformity of size and Now New Englanders, shape. Southerners and Midwesterners can enjoy the sweet, taste of a California-raise- d cantaloupe. Denver consumers had one of the first opportunities to sample the new cantaloupe during a taste test held in 10 King Soopers stores during August While Denver consumers are known to be loyal to their homegrown Colorado Rocky Ford melons, those surveyed indicated that the sweet taste, good texture and full flavor of Mission was better than the homegrown cantaloupe. More than 80 percent of the 265 consumers surveyed rated Mission as having excellent or above average flavor and sweetness. To help consumers identify one cantaloupe from another, Asgrow used a marketing technique usually reserved for the banana industry. During the Mission taste test, a round sticker displaying a slice of cantaloupe and the name Mission," was attached to each cantaloupe. Like brand banana stickers, the Mission stickers will help consumers recognize high quality fruit in the produce department. ' Cantaloupe is no longer just a summer fruit, either. Thanks to advancements in technology, supplies from the southwest states of California. Texas and Arizona, combined with supplies from 21 other states, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, mean consumers can enjoy cantaloupe year-roun- d.
