Health Benefits of Watermelon


     I always call watermelon the eatable melon; this is because the other melon can’t be eaten raw. Watermelon is juicy containing a lot of water (up to about 90% of the fruit is water) and sweet. It is a favorite fruit used in the preparation of fruit salad. Watermelon is nutritious as it hydrates and contains very low-fat. It is also very beneficial for our health.
