Cantaloupe is a melon that is an excellent source of fiber and vitamins A and C as well as B complex vitamins, such as niacin. It is also rich in potassium, beta carotene, lutein, pantothenic acid, and folate. It is both low in fat and calories as well as sodium and cholesterol. Its rich flavor is loaded with poly-phenolic substances and antioxidants. It also contains zeaxanthin, a dietary carotenoid that promotes eye health.

Growing best during the spring and summer months, cantaloupe is a refreshing snack or dessert. It goes well with yogurt, nuts, and other fruits or enjoy it by itself.
