Ok, everything about the water melon is good for eating and has benefits, but for purpose if clarity, I must state that it is advisable to eat the red succulent part, the Green succulent part and the seed altogether. I am not in anyway saving that the back itself is not good, it has its own benefit, but most times it is advisable to consume the parts I suggested earlier.
