Juicy, sweet and vitamin-rich

Earthbound Farm Organic Cantaloupe is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, and a good source of potassium, a mineral that’s essential for the proper function of all cells, tissues and organs, and which may help maintain a healthy blood pressure.

Cantaloupe is one of the most popular melons in America and rivals the banana in potassium content. This fruit is packed with a colorful antioxidant called beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A when needed. Within the context of a healthy diet, beta-carotene may play a role in reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases. Eating cantaloupe, and other beta-carotene-rich foods as part of a healthy diet, may also improve physical performance and strength for seniors.  
 

Why choose organic cantaloupe?

Cantaloupe is #39 on the Environmental Working Group's “Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides,” a list of produce that carries the most pesticide residues when grown conventionally. Choosing organic cantaloupe makes sense — especially for children, whose growing bodies are so much more susceptible to environmental chemical exposures than adults’.

At Earthbound Farm, we grow our organic cantaloupe without toxic synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, using sustainable farming methods that protect the environment and help keep pesticides out of our soil, air, water and food supply. Organic food is the healthiest choice for people and the planet — and we think organic cantaloupe tastes better, too!
