What are watermelons?


Watermelons are large round fruits that thrive very well in dry lands. Some varieties have seeds while others are seedless. They are a good source of water in the diets of human beings but can also be used for making jams and other preservatives including jell preparation. They are also useful in flavoring summer drinks and smoothies. They are quite nutritious, for instance, one cup serving of watermelon can provide calories, vitamin C, vitamins A, B6, B1 and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, antioxidants among others. They can also be prepared as grilled watermelons as found in the case of watermelon stake which is commonly found in restaurants in certain countries.
