Cantaloupes are excellent sources of antioxidants, and they also provide your body with magnesium, copper, fiber, and potassium. They have 3,000 micrograms of beta-carotene per 100 grams. That’s 30 times more than fresh oranges! Research has proven the benefits of cantaloupe. Women who eat 12 ounces of the fresh fruit a day have a lower risk of metabolic syndrome.*
Hold off on cutting into your cantaloupe until you are ready to eat it. When you do slice it, be sure to keep the seeds on the remaining cantaloupe sections, as they help to keep the fruit juicy and fresh.
