Hello steemians. It's my delight to partake in this contest organised by @shc-curator. I just got to learn about it, so I decide to drop my entry too. Big Thanks to the sponsors and organisers of this health contest.

My Favourite Vegetable: Watermelon

my diced watermelon

Watermelon🍉 is a seeded berry-like vegetable, fleshy within with a thick outer coating.It is 90% water. There are also species of the seedless watermelon . It is considered as a fruit too. I love this vegetable because of ,first, its low sugar content, its high-water content and many nutritional benefits it gives the body .

Watermelon is a delicious vegetable that can be both enjoyed eaten as whole or combined with other vegetables and fruit into a smoothie. It can also be cut into slices or cubes to eat. It can be enjoyed anytime of the day; Enjoyed as appetizer before meals or taken as a healthy snack in-between meals.
