Watermelon is a large, juicy fruit known for its sweet taste and high water content, typically around 90%. It has a thick green rind and is often red or pink on the inside, filled with black seeds, although seedless varieties are also common. Watermelons belong to the Cucurbitaceae family, which includes other fruits like cucumbers and pumpkins. Originating in Africa, watermelons are now grown in many warm climates around the world. They are usually enjoyed fresh, in salads, or as juice. Rich in vitamins A and C, watermelons are a refreshing and nutritious choice, especially during hot summer months.
