Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a large, sweet fruit belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family, which includes cucumbers, pumpkins, and squash. It is typically round or oval-shaped, with a thick green rind and a juicy, red or pink flesh containing black seeds, though seedless varieties also exist. Watermelon is composed of about 90% water, making it an excellent hydrating food, especially in warm climates.
Rich in vitamins like A, C, and antioxidants such as lycopene, it is both nutritious and low in calories. Watermelon is often eaten fresh or used in salads, smoothies, and desserts. It originates from Africa but is now widely cultivated worldwide.
