You only maximise the health benefits when it is fully ripe so make sure its fully ripe before eating it people and when you eat it in this state it tastes so much more sweet and flavourful.

Good job my friends

super helpful and insightful! Thanks for this!

Great article. In my country we seldom used honeydew melon for salad, rather we make refreshing homemade melon juice from it. We do it by mixing the grated flesh of a whole melon with pitcher of cold water and evaporated milk plus sugar if you prefer it sweeter. Perfect for summer. You should try it if you can.
