 Summer
is a fun season, but the hot weather often makes us feel tired.
So it is important to drink a lot of water during the hot summer.
Eating watermelon is another way to stay hydrated in this hot
season.
It is 92 percent water. The summer fruit is delicious and nutritious! In fact, watermelon
delivers more nutrients per calorie than many other
fruits.
 Watermelon
is a wonderful health food because it doesn’t
contain any fat or cholesterol. Also, it is
high in fiber, vitamins A, and C.
It is a good source of potassium, too. Vitamin C
helps your immune system and vitamin
A makes your eyes strong. So, enjoying watermelon can help you fight against a lot of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and asthma.
Watermelon is grown in over 96 countries all over the world. It comes
in many colors, shapes, and sizes. Over 1,200 varieties of watermelon
are grown worldwide. There are more than 50 varieties in the U.S.
alone.
The rind of watermelon is thick
and green, but it can look black, too. Some watermelons have spots instead of stripes. On the inside, it
can be red, pink, or yellow! Every part of a watermelon is edible, even the seeds and rinds.
There are many ways to enjoy the delicious fruit. To enjoy watermelon
in a fun way, you can use a spoon to scoop it up in balls. You can
also add it to all kinds of recipes such as fruit salads
and fruit kebabs. You can drink it as juice, too.
In Israel and Egypt, the sweet taste of watermelon is often paired
with the salty taste of feta cheese. Think about
