Honeydew melons have similar nutritional benefits of summer and winter squash.
Honeydew melons are low in calories and high in their water content. They provide an
excellent source of vitamin C and are also a very good source of potassium, copper,
and B vitamins (including thiamine, niacin, B6, and pantothenic acid).
Due to their high water content and combination with potassium, honeydew melons
are helpful in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. They also provide several key
nutrients that are particularly beneficial for healthy skin.
