• Cantaloupes provide an excellent source of antioxidants, like vitamin C and vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids), along with important nutrients like potassium, folate, copper, B vitamins, vitamin K, magnesium, and fiber

• Cantaloupes may contain more than 3,000 micrograms of beta-carotene (per 100 grams), which is about 30 times more than fresh oranges
