A watermelon is 92% water. It is a favorite summertime treat, especially during barbeques! Watermelons grow on a vine and are considered berries with a thick outer rind and a fleshy, delicious center. As a berry, they are classified as a fruit, even though they are related to cucumbers and grow similar to squash and pumpkins. Along with 92% water, a watermelon contains 6% sugar. Regardless, snacking on watermelon is a healthy snack. The water helps keep you hydrated in the heat and is a good source of vitamin C, beta carotene, and lycopene. You can even eat the rind! Some people in China cook the rind as a vegetable, and the rinds make a great pickle. Fun fact! The world record for the distance a watermelon seed can be spit is 78 feet 6 inches!
