NOTE:

Did you know that cantaloupe is packed with nutrients? It’s a great source of vitamin A and C. Once eaten the beta-carotene in cantaloupe converts to vitamin A. It acts as an antioxidant that helps to fight free radicals that will attack your body. Vitamin A is important for your eye health, a healthy immune system, and healthy red blood cells.

And then there’s Vitamin C. Did you know that according to the USDA that one cup of cantaloupe contains over 100 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin C? Vitamin C also plays an important role in the production of your muscle, collagen in your bones, cartilage and blood vessels.
