Watermelon is a refreshing and juicy fruit that is synonymous with summertime. It has a vibrant red or pink flesh with black seeds (or seedless varieties) encased in a green rind. Watermelon is not only delicious but also hydrating, as it is composed mainly of water. It is packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and lycopene. Watermelon can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing snack or used in a variety of culinary preparations, such as fruit salads, smoothies, sorbets, and cocktails.
