Those lush and refreshing watermelon slices are surely a delight except when it comes to those tiny seeds right? Watermelon seeds are viewed as a hindrance while gobbling up on this sweet fruit. People often struggle to get these seeds out before eating or simple just spit them out while eating it. But have you ever considered eating watermelon seeds?

Watermelon seeds are not only 100 per cent consumable but they are actually very nutritious too. They are rich in potassium, iron, vitamins and fibre. Chew them well before swallowing them to reap all their nutritional content.Health benefits of watermelon seeds
