Dried Muskmelon
CautionDried Fruit
Dried muskmelon, also known as dried cantaloupe, is a sweet dried fruit popular as a snack, but is high in FODMAPs due to concentrated sugars.
What is Dried Muskmelon?
Dried muskmelon is the dehydrated form of the fresh muskmelon fruit, commonly referred to as cantaloupe or rockmelon in some regions. This drying process removes water while concentrating the fruit's natural sugars, particularly fructose, which increases its sweetness and shelf life. Dried muskmelon is often enjoyed as a convenient snack or used in trail mixes.

Why People Avoid Dried Muskmelon
People on low-FODMAP diets often avoid dried muskmelon because the drying process concentrates the fruit's natural sugars, particularly fructose, making it high in FODMAPs. This can lead to digestive discomfort in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive sensitivities.
