The watermelon originated in Southern Africa but the world’s single largest producer of the watermelon, today, is China. A watermelon contains about 6% sugar and 92% water by weight. As with many other fruits, it is a great source of vitamin C. Traditionally used to cure skin disorders, bladder, kidney and digestive problems. There are more than 1200 varieties of watermelon ranging in size from less than a pound, to more than two hundred pounds, with flesh that is red, orange, yellow or white.
