In the northern hemisphere, watermelon is at its peak in the summer, so we definitely want to take advantage of it! If you see them in your local farmer’s market, get one! Local watermelons are the freshest because it has the least amount of time between being removed from the vine to your home.
Watermelon is a great fruit. According to this article from Mayo Clinic, watermelon is a disease fighter because it is a great source of vitamin A, C, B6 and potassium. It is also very hydrating because 92% of it is water! Watermelon truly makes a healthy snack in the summer heat.
