Honeydew is a cultivar group of the muskmelon, Cucumis melo Inodorous group.Honeydew melon makes a refreshing treat on a hot summer day, but it’s also a low-calorie and healthy choice any time you need to feed a craving for sweets.

Fiber-Honeydew melon contains soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps keep blood sugar balanced by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates. It also lowers cholesterol by carrying it out of the body.

Tips-Look for honeydew melons with a creamy white or pale cream rind. You should be able to smell the melon’s aroma if it’s fully ripened. If it’s not quite ripe, let the melon sit at room temperature for a few days. Ripe honeydew is most often enjoyed fresh, but it also works well in cold soup. Mix honeydew, watermelon, cantaloupe and lemon-lime soda for a summer smoothie.
