WATERMELON

Watermelons are 91% water and 6% sugar, they are eaten as dessert, but they are not just sugary sweets. They have high amounts of vitamin C and are low in fat and sodium which makes them healthy food. They can also be turned into juice.
MDA offers Watermelons from May to end of June.


History
Watermelon's botanical name, Citrullus vulgaris, comes from the diminutive form of citrus, referring to the color and shape of the fruit, and vulgaris meaning common or ordinary fruit. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where its English common name, watermelon, comes from. The flesh of this succulent fruit is over 90 percent water.

Native to Africa, it was a valuable and portable source of water for desert situations and when natural water supplies were contaminated.
Watermelons were cultivated in Egypt and India as far back as 2500 B.C. as evidenced in ancient hieroglyphics.

-  Light watermelons have not ripened long on the vine, so always choose darker green ones, with lighter stripes.
- Avoid watermelons that have lumps and bumps. Choose one that is oval and uniform. If you find a shiny watermelon, it means it isn’t completely ripe.
