Melon, Canteloupe-type, flesh only, weighed whole

Cantaloupe-type melon is a fruit, and this entry describes the flesh only, with values based on the weight of the whole melon, including the skin and seeds. For each 100g weighed whole, the edible flesh provides 2.5g of carbohydrate, 1.1g of fibre, 174µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent) and 15mg of vitamin C. Its carbohydrate is present as sugars.

Vitamin A supports normal vision and immune function. Vitamin C is needed for normal collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Fibre helps support normal bowel function. The whole-weight basis is important when comparing these values with foods measured by edible weight alone. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
