Honry Melon

The flesh of honeydew is similar to cantaloupe in terms of texture, but most types of honeydew have a much sweeter flavor and green flesh. They range in weight from four to eight pounds and the rind is typically firm, oval and smooth. Honeydew melons are the sweetest of the melons. They are an excellent source of potassium.
