4-pack. 1 plant in a 3 inch pot. Grow your own melons!
Honeydew melon and cantaloupe are two members of the same species, Cucumis melo. Although they are closely related, they’re two different fruits. They are both sweet, but their appearance is different. There is a taste difference in the two. Honeydew melon is slightly sweeter with a firm, green flesh, while cantaloupe has softer, orange flesh.
They both share similar nutritional benefits except for vitamin C and beta-carotene. Cantaloupe contains twice the amount of vitamin C as does honeydew, 61% DV versus 30% DV in honeydew. In vitamin A, Cantaloupe wins again with 68% DV compared to 1% DV in honeydew. Both are based on a 3.5 ounce serving. If it is beta carotene you are wanting, cantaloupe is the melon you want.
These melons are loved for their juiciness and sweet flavor. They add color and firm texture to fruit salads and make a beautiful addition to a fruit platter. Since they have similar taste and texture, they can be used interchangeably in most recipes.
