Watermelon, as we already know, is a wonder fruit of
the tropical region. Originally it was found to be grown in the South African
countries from where it reached to all the tropical countries of the world. It
is a very rich source of carbohydrates, vitamins (A & C), potassium and is
devoid of any amount of fats and calories. It’s ideally considered as the best
fruit to beat the scorching heat during summers.
Watermelon has a neutral flavor because of 95%
composition of water. It tastes a little sweet though. It consists of mainly
water and electrolytes and is rich in fiber content too which makes it perfect

Although watermelons can be grown in all the seasons
under tropical environments yet they are mostly available in summer season.
Watermelon juice can be freshly prepared very easily at home too. This couple
with the natural watermelon
