About Melons, honeydew, raw
Honeydew is the smooth, pale-skinned melon with cool green flesh and a clean, gentle sweetness milder than its orange cantaloupe cousin. Crisp when slightly underripe and juicy when fully ripe, it's a fixture of fruit platters and summer salads.
Like all melons it's mostly water, which keeps it hydrating and low in calories, while still supplying vitamin C, potassium and a little of the B vitamins. It carries less vitamin A than cantaloupe, owing to its pale flesh.
A ripe honeydew feels heavy for its size with a faintly waxy rather than hard skin. Refreshing and light, it's the melon to reach for when you want something subtly sweet.
