Watermelon
The Latin name for watermelon is “citrullus vulgaris. It is related to other melon like the galia melon and cantaloupe. This fruit got the prefix “water” because it is a very juicy melon. In fact, it consists of as much as 95 percent water. It is among one of the most thirst-quenching fruits in the world. The watermelon is a healthy addition to your diet.
Another fun fact is that the seeds in a watermelon are also heart healthy for you. Most people remove the seeds (with much fuss) from the melon and then throw them away. A real shame, because it contains a lot of protein, vitamins and minerals!
