WatermelonWhat is it about watermelon that really floats my boat? Is it the reminder of Summertime? Picnics? Adventures at Sleep-away Camp? Is it the joy of eating with my hands? The memories of watermelon carved into baskets and filled with fruit salads at childhood family gatherings? Or is it simply the deliciously juicy, immediately satisfying experience of biting into this divine fruit, filling all my senses with exuberant goodness. Whatever the answer, it will always be on my personal top ten list of all-time favorite fruits. Dare I say, in my top five?!!

 

*Juicy Fact*

 

Did you know that if you buy an organic watermelon, you should juice the entire melon, including the green rind where you will find Vitamin C & Vitamin B-6. The rind contains a compound called “citrulline” an amino acid vital to the heart, circulatory & immune system. Researchers speculate that watermelon rind might relax blood vessels and have a role in treating erectile dysfunction. So feed some watermelon to your man, if you want a really juicy experience!!
