Melons are divided into two groups - watermelon and sugar melon. Watermelon otherwise - St. John's wort (Latin name Citrullus lanatus), comes from Africa and is still widely grown there. Over the years and due to its popularity, its cultivation has spread to many countries such as Italy, Greece, Israel, Spain, Cyprus, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia and we could continue.
Botanically, watermelon is an aquatic vegetable belonging to the gourd family, and as is known, gourds need favorable climatic conditions - plenty of heat, light, and irrigation. The color of melons varies according to the type and ripening. From shades of gray to yellow and light greenish to dark green or gray-green longitudinally striped. The shapes also vary from large round or elongated ovals to small ones weighing around 1kg. The surface of watermelon can be from rough to completely smooth. We know very large watermelons weighing more than 10kg, but there is even a giant weighing over 120kg.
Watermelon has a light to deep red flesh inside, depending on the species, degree of ripening, and has regularly distributed seeds. Some species are bred without seeds. Watermelon has many more nutrients than we would expect. It contains lycopene, vitamins C, B1, B6, provitamin A, folic acid, proteins, and the minerals phosphorus, calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. Watermelon is 90% water, and therefore it is a very suitable food for cleansing peel, it is, so to speak, a gift for the kidneys. We know that the human body is largely water, even in the bones there is water, so the body needs to replenish the water regularly. By consuming watermelon, we combine healthy with useful.

As I began to think about what I would write about this amazing vegetable, I imagined that fragrant crunchy, sweet goodness in the hot summer somewhere in the garden. I once heard that watermelon is just water. It would be sad if something so beautiful, good-tasting, and eye-catching grew on the ground, and it didn't even have a gram of healthy substances. Did you know that the word watermelon comes from Greek and means "ripe apple"? maybe there was a watermelon, too, tell me, you come tired after a hard day's work, home on a hot summer day and there's a fragrant watermelon snack on your table, isn't that a pleasant idea?
