Melon, flesh only, average

Melon is a fruit; these figures describe the flesh only and are an average for cantaloupe-type, Galia and Honeydew varieties. It consists mainly of water, with carbohydrate as its main energy-providing nutrient. Per 100g, it contains 92g of water, 5.5g of carbohydrate, 1.3g of fibre and 16mg of vitamin C.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Fibre contributes to normal bowel function. The carbohydrate in melon is present as naturally occurring sugars, which are worth noting when monitoring total carbohydrate or sugar intake. Melon flesh contains little fat or salt.
