Description

Watermelon is sweet, mushy and is mostly water. It is best eaten cold, so as to congeal all the fruity flavour into the thick mushy flesh of the fruit. On the inside, it is reddish with dots of its seeds which exude an inky blackness. The juice is abundant and the pink rind bursts with sweet liquid whenever you bite into it. Especially in the hot seasons, or in the dry, dusty harmattan winds, watermelons (made of 90% water) provides hydration and essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
