Watermelon, also known as Citrullus lanatus is a
plant species in the family Cucurbitaceae with
smooth green skin, pulp, and watery juice. The
vine-like flowering plant is a nutrient dense food
with contains a high amount of vitamins, minerals
and antioxidants for a low amount of calories.
Here are some facts about watermelon that might
surprise you.
Wild watermelons originated in southern Africa.
There are more than 1200 varieties of watermelon
that come in various weights, shapes, sizes and
colours.
The colours are; Red, orange, yellow and white.
Key commercial varieties of watermelon include
the Carolina Cross, Yellow Crimson, Orangeglo,
Moon & Stars, Cream of Saskatchewan,
Melitopolski, and Densuke.
Farmers in Japan have started growing cube-
shaped watermelons by growing them in glass
boxes where they assume the shape of the box.
Originally this was done to make the melons
easier to stack and store, but the novelty of the
cubic watermelon can fetch double the price of a
normal one at market.
Watermelon is a fruit and a vegetable too. It is a
vegetable because it is a member of the same
family as the cucumber, pumpkin and squash. It
is also harvested and cleared from fields like
other vine growing vegetables.
You can eat watermelon rind and seeds. All parts
of a watermelon can be eaten, even the rind,
which actually contains a number of nutrients too,
but due to the unappealing flavour, it is rarely
eaten. In China, the rind is used as a vegetable
and stir-fried, stewed or pickled. Try putting it in
a blender with some lime for a healthy, refreshing
treat. Not only does the rind contain plenty of
health-promoting and blood-building chlorophyll,
but the rind also contains more of the amino acid
citrulline than the pink flesh. Same goes for the
seeds; you can just consume them as snacks in



between your meals.
Nutritionally, watermelons contain high levels of
vitamin B6 (which increases brain power), vitamin
A (good for eyesight), potassium (which helps in
curing heart disease and keeping the heart
healthy). The watermelon also contains Vitamin
B1, C and manganese which protect against
infections.
By weight, a watermelon contains about 6% sugar
and 92% water. The high water and electrolyte
content of watermelons make them ideal as a
refreshing summer thrust quenchers. They keep
us hydrated, our skin fresh, and can clean the
kidneys of toxins.
Watermelon and watermelon juice have been
shown to reduce muscle soreness and improve
recovery time following exercise in athletes.
Researchers believe this is likely to do with the
amino acid L-citrulline contained in watermelo
