If you cut a watermelon and it looks like this, throw it away immediately (Page 2 ) | June 15, 2025

Why not eat cracked melons in the middle

Every family tries to include healthy fruits and vegetables in their diet. That is why it is important to know how to distinguish those grown naturally from those grown with the help of chemical fertilizers.

Many farmers are trying to speed up the growth of melons with the help of accelerators. One of the signs of synthetically grown melons is the crack in the middle of the core.
If the watermelon has such a crack, then chemical fertilizers are used in its growth.

The benefits of eating watermelon

Not only the fruit of the watermelon but also its seeds are very nutritious for the body. So do not throw away the seeds of watermelons, they contain a lot of nutrients. In 150 grams of dried seeds, we find 30.6 grams of protein, representing 61% of the recommended daily value.

Thus, seed proteins contain essential amino acids, such as tryptophan, glutamic acid, and lysine. In addition, we also find arginine, which has the property of regulating blood pressure and relieving the suffering of small arteries.

In watermelon seeds, we also find niacin, a B vitamin, extremely necessary for the maintenance of the nervous system, digestive system, and skin elasticity. Also in the seeds, we find vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6, and pantothenic acid.

Another benefit of consuming watermelon seeds is the intake of minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, sodium, copper, manganese, and zinc, helping muscles and joints.
As for the melon core, it contains extremely little fat and cholesterol. With the help of citrulline (found especially in the peel), the elimination of ammonia from the liver is favored.

Citrulline also reduces oxidative stress, dilates blood vessels, and gives us extra energy.

The melon core also contains vitamins A, C, D, E, B6, and B12, pantothenic acid, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium. Vitamins, along with antioxidants, help strengthen the immune system, and prevent heart disease, joint inflammation, and even certain types of cancer – colorectal, prostate, breast, or cervical.

Watermelon is richer in lycopene than tomatoes, being a powerful antioxidant that lowers bad cholesterol, and prevents cardiovascular disease, cataracts, and osteoporosis.
