Because the flesh of the cantaloupe is often pastel-like in color (compared to the more vibrant color of fruits like oranges), we sometimes forget how important cantaloupe can be as a fruit source of vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids). Researchers have recently measured the carotenoid contents of six different California-grown cantaloupe hybrids and discovered that their beta-carotene content can reach levels as high as 3,138 micrograms (per 100 grams of fresh weight). That's about 30 times higher than the beta-carotene content of fresh oranges. Although this nutrient richness of cantaloupe still does not place it in the beta-carotene range for fresh carrots here (about 8,300 micrograms), it's still an aspect of this delicious fruit that is all-too-frequently overlooked.
A common misconception about cantaloupe is that because it tastes so sweet, it is very high in sugar.
One cup of cantaloupe has essentially the same amount of calories and carbohydrate as one serving of other fruits like a small (4 ounce) apple.
The key to eating cantaloupe is to keep your portion to about one serving, which is one cup. To help you feel full, pair cantaloupe with a serving of protein, such as one ounce of cheese or a handful of nuts.
