It’s a common myth that watermelon isn’t good for you. Despite a candy-like taste and high water content, it’s packed with nutrients.
Fresh watermelon contains vitamins A and C and is one of the best sources of the antioxidant lycopene. You can also munch on the seeds to get some protein and heart healthy fat. And don't limit watermelon to savory uses -- if you’ve never tried a watermelon and feta salad, now is the time!
