Watermelon

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a large, juicy tropical fruit belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family. It has a thick green rind, often striped or solid, with a sweet, refreshing red or pink flesh filled with black or sometimes white seeds. Seedless varieties are also common. Watermelon is composed of about 90â??92% water, making it highly hydrating and low in calories. It is rich in natural sugars, electrolytes, antioxidants like lycopene, and vitamins A and C. Known for its crisp texture and thirst-quenching quality, watermelon is widely consumed fresh, juiced, or used in salads, desserts, and beverages, especially in summer.
