About Watermelon, raw
Watermelon is summer in fruit form — huge, juicy and built almost entirely of water, which is exactly what makes a cold slice so refreshing on a hot day. Sweet and mild, it's eaten in wedges, cubed into salads, or blended into coolers.
Being roughly 90% water, it's very low in calories for its size, so you can eat a lot of it without much consequence. It's also a surprising source of lycopene — the same antioxidant that makes tomatoes red — along with vitamin C and a little vitamin A.
Hydrating, sweet and light, watermelon is one of those rare treats that feels indulgent while costing almost nothing nutritionally.
