Things worth knowing
- A cup of diced honeydew (170 g) has about 61 kcal (256 kJ), and a wedge of one-eighth of a melon (125 g) about 45 kcal (188 kJ).
- Cantaloupe, called rockmelon in Australia, has slightly fewer calories (about 34 kcal per 100 g) but twice the vitamin C and far more vitamin A, thanks to its orange flesh.
- Watermelon is a little lower again at about 30 kcal per 100 g. The three melons are close enough that portion size matters more than which one you pick.
- A cup of honeydew provides about 31 mg of vitamin C (34% DV) and around 390 mg of potassium.
