 Intestinal benefits of Seeds..

The seeds of the cantaloupe and the "netting" around them are high in fiber, and eating them may benefit the intestines, reports Vegetarian In Paradise. In addition, the seeds are thought to have the ability to purge excess phlegm and congestion from the body. 
 Using only the seeds, surrounding flesh and some water, you can make a "smoothie" that is high in vitamin A and vitamin C, contains 25 calories and no fat or cholesterol.

The seeds of the musk melon can be dried if you have good sunlight and then roasted and added to salads or soups. In India we add them to our sweets and halwas.
