Did you know?
The red part is an antioxidant known as lycopene which gives watermelon its red colour.
Eating the seeds are a good source of protein.
Eating the rind you get citrulline which plays an important role in the synthesis of nitric oxide, which helps lower blood pressure by dilating and relaxing your blood vessels.
Watermelon is as much a vegetable as it is a fruit. Because it has seeds, it’s a fruit, but this pink-fleshed beauty is a member of the gourd family (Think pumpkin and cucumber). So don’t hold back; enjoy it in meals, as well as a sweet treat.
