Cantaloupe

A quick note about Cantaloupe. Did you know that cantaloupe has more beta-carotene than:

• apricots

• grapefruit

• oranges

• peaches

• tangerines

• nectarines

• mangoes.

Beta carotene is converted by the body into vitamin A or used as a potent antioxidant to combat free radicals that attack cells.

Vitamin A is important to:

• eye health

• red blood cells

• a healthy immune system

  
  

This is just one benefit of eating cantaloupes. They also contain various vitamins, minerals, and high fiber that are advantageous for us.

You know me, I love a healthy and delicious dish! Let's get to it, shall we?!
