Matters needing attention in eating cantaloupe
Hami melon has a high sugar content. The sugar content of mature cantaloupe is very high, almost reaching 15%, and the more delicate cantaloupe is, the sweeter it tastes. Eating this kind of cantaloupe usually causes discomfort such as dry throat and pain. This is mainly because too much sugar changes the osmotic pressure of the throat, and too much water is dispersed into the cantaloupe through the skin mucosa, which dilutes the sugar of cantaloupe and causes dehydration of the throat together, resulting in dry throat and pain.
