Cantaloupe powder comes from dried, ground melon. The powder delivers vitamins A and C, beta-carotene, and potassium, along with natural water content.
People reach for this fruit to hydrate and load up on nutrients. Beta-carotene and vitamin C in the powder act as antioxidants that help maintain skin health and a strong immune system. Research on concentrated cantaloupe extracts is limited.
Mix the powder into smoothies, water, or other beverages. There is no standard serving size, so check the product label for directions.
Eating cantaloupe as whole food is safe. Skip it if you have an allergy to melons, cucumbers, or watermelon. High potassium content means you should talk to your doctor if you have kidney problems or take potassium-sparing medications.
