Honey!

It's taking everything we've got not to make a joke about "nice melons," but, cross our hearts, the honeydew is one of our absolute favorites. Naturally fat-free, low in sodium and high in vitamin C, honeydew melons are mild, sweet and perfectly velvety in texture. In short, they're scrumptious. To get the most from your melons, keep these tips in mind:

Choose honeydew with a creamy white to yellow rind. Overripe honeydew can be bitter.Wash before cutting—melon rinds can hide bacteria. Ripen your honeydew at home by keeping it at room temperature or warmer for a day or two.

Serve it raw in a salad, have a slice for breakfast or blend it up in a smoothie.
