Melon, Honeydew, flesh only, weighed with skin

Honeydew melon is a fruit that mainly provides water and carbohydrate, with small amounts of vitamins and minerals. This entry describes the flesh with seeds removed, but the figures are based on 100g weighed with the skin, rather than flesh alone. On this basis, it provides 4.3g carbohydrate, including 4.3g sugars, as well as 6mg vitamin C and 112mg potassium.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, which is important for skin, gums and other tissues. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. The sugars in melon occur naturally within the fruit. It contains little fat or salt, which may be relevant when monitoring these in the diet. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
