"Semences de Kokopelli" by Dominique Guillet
This old variety originated in the United States. It was developed in 1964 in Kansas. It is the result of crosses between "Miles", "Peacok" and "Charleston Gray".
Watermelon contains almost 92% water and little fiber, making it easier to digest for people with sensitive intestines. Rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that gives it its red color, it has cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory and cell-protecting properties. Its content of amino acids and vitamin C contributes to a healthy immune system. The seeds are also rich in vitamin C, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.
