Are you thinking – what are melons doing on this list of Most Consumed Fruits in the US, aren’t they vegetables and not fruit? Well, there is a strong debate about classifying them. If you consider what they are made of, many people will agree that they have similar nutrition value as many other fruits; but if we look how it grows some would say it is more of a vegetable. Classify it as you want, you can’t debate the many health benefits its consumption provides us with – help in preventing breast, lung, oral cavity and many other types of cancer.
