Ripening brings bitterness: Now many cantaloupes are not naturally ripened, but ripened quickly by ripeners. The sugar content in the flesh of ripening cantaloupe is not enough, and the ripening cantaloupe is not really ripe, so it will have bitterness.
Not fully cooked: The bought cantaloupe tastes bitter, probably because it is not fully cooked. If it is artificially ripened cantaloupe, it may be bitter because of insufficient sugar accumulation.
The interior began to deteriorate: it is also possible that the interior of cantaloupe has begun to deteriorate, so it tastes bitter. This kind of melon is not only bitter to eat, but also a little strange, such as Harbin and alcohol.
