What is a "watermelon"?
Watermelon is a large, juicy fruit with a thick rind and sweet, watery flesh. It is characterized by its vibrant red color and black seeds, although seedless varieties are also popular. Typically, the skin of a watermelon is green with lighter green or yellowish stripes running along its length. Watermelons are typically harvested in the summer months when they are at their peak ripeness. They are commonly enjoyed fresh as a refreshing snack or used in fruit salads, smoothies, and desserts. Watermelons are also popular for their hydrating properties, as they are composed of over 90% water. Additionally, they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to your diet.
