This is a sweet, juicy flesh is usually deep red to pink in color with multiple black-brown seeds. It can be eaten raw or pickled and the rind is edible after cooking.

This is a vine-link flowering plant that comes from the kingdom of plantae, family of cucrbitaceae and falls in the order of cucurbitalis.

Water melon( citrullius lanatus) was long thought to have originated in the southern, northeast and western parts of Africa. It is grown in the tropical and subtropical areas worldwide.

One of the most interesting things about this fruit is that all of its components is medicinal and healthy to mankind.

I didn't know the seeds are so healthy too, do you have to chew them or they work also when swallowed whole? Cause that's what I normally do... :S

Yea it can be chewed along with the fleshy part or if you want you can roast it. Thank you for coming through my work.
