• High Water Content: Composed of over 92% water, making it exceptionally hydrating.
• Flavor: Sweet, juicy, and incredibly refreshing, with a subtle grainy texture.

Nutritional Benefits

Watermelon is more than just a delicious treat; it’s also packed with beneficial nutrients:

• Hydration: Its very high water content makes it excellent for rehydration, especially in hot climates like Assam’s summer.
• Lycopene: The vibrant red color comes from lycopene, a powerful antioxidant also found in tomatoes. Lycopene is linked to heart health, skin protection from sun damage, and potential anti-cancer properties.
• Vitamin C: A good source of Vitamin C, boosting the immune system.
• Vitamin A: Provides Vitamin A (as beta-carotene), essential for eye health and skin.
• Potassium: Contains potassium, an important electrolyte for blood pressure regulation and muscle function.
• Citrulline: Rich in citrulline, an amino acid that may help improve exercise performance and reduce muscle soreness.
• Low Calories: Despite its sweetness, it’s remarkably low in calories.
