February is always the month that we get the tastiest rockmelons of the year. Growing down south in the Riverina district, they love hot dry weather to bring out the best in them and this year has certainly delivered on that. The price is right this week, enjoy them whilst at their best and at an excellent price.
HOW TO PICK
Use your nose - ripe rockmelons will give off a fragrance when pressed gently (near the stem end).
HOW TO STORE
Store whole at room temperature. Once cut, cover and store in the fridge.
