Inconnue
This ancient Native American variety originated with the Navajo people of the Shiprock region in the United States.
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.
