Chiquita^® Honeydew Melons

Honeydew melons are full of goodness you may not realize. For instance, honeydew melons are high in vitamin C. They are also fat free. And that's good to know because while there are many factors that may influence the development of cancer, a diet low in total fat is one factor that may reduce the risk of some types of cancer. And if it's potassium you're looking for, you'll find 6% of your daily value in one serving of honeydew melon.

So you might say, it's as refreshing to know all this as it is to bite into a fresh honeydew melon.

Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in vegetables, grain products, and fruit that contain fiber, like honeydew melons, may reduce the risk of heart disease, a disease associated with many factors.
