Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), Dr.Abhay Kumar Pati, CEO, Best Nutrition, USA

June 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is originally from southern Africa and one of the most common types of melon. The watermelon fruit, loosely considered a type of melon (although not in the genus Cucumis), has a smooth exterior rind (green, yellow, and sometimes white) and a juicy, sweet, usually red, but sometimes orange, yellow, or pink interior flesh.
Fresh watermelon may be eaten in a variety of ways and is also often used to flavor summer drinks and smoothies.
There are more than twelve hundred varieties of watermelon ranging in size from less than a pound, to more than two hundred pounds with flesh that is red, orange, yellow, or white.
Therapeutic use: Watermelon contains about six percent sugar by weight, the rest being mostly water. As with many other fruits, it is a source of vitamin C. It is not a significant source of other vitamins and minerals unless one eats several kilograms per day.
