Watermelon, a refreshing fruit native to Africa, is a summertime favorite enjoyed worldwide. Known for its vibrant red flesh and high water content (about 92%), it’s both hydrating and satisfying. Watermelon is low in calories while rich in essential nutrients like vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants such as lycopene, which promotes heart health and may help protect skin from sun damage. Its natural sugars make it a sweet treat, but its relatively low glycemic index means it doesn’t cause sharp spikes in blood sugar when consumed in moderation. With its origins deeply tied to African cuisine, watermelon is now popular across all types of culinary traditions—whether sliced raw, blended into juices, or as a cooling ingredient in salads. While healthy and nutrient-rich, overeating may lead to excess sugar intake. Overall, watermelon provides a guilt-free burst of natural sweetness and hydration perfect for warm weather.
