One o f your favorite summer foods has an ancient history. I t ’s
believed that watermelon first grew in the Kalahari Desert in Africa
thousands o f years ago. Ancient Egyptians depicted the harvest o f
watermelons in hieroglyphics and watermelons were placed in the
tombs o f kings as fo o d fo r the afterlife.
E u ro p e a n s got
their first taste of wa­
termelon in the 13th
century. In America,
w ate rm e lo n
was
brought by European
c o lo n ists in the
1600’s.
Like the name sug­
gests, watermelon is
prized for its high wa-
,
ter content - 92% . That’s why watermelon was used as a transportable
water source. It’s actually a vegetable related to cucumbers and pump­
kins. Not only do people eat the sweet flesh, but the seeds can be toasted
and the rinds can be pickled.
Watermelon is eaten and produced nearly everywhere. The U.S. ranks
fourth in watermelon production, with 44 states growing the fruit. It’s also
the most consumed melon in the country.
Watermelon comes in all sizes, shapes and colors. Besides the green
rind and red flesh that most of us are familiar with, there are yellow and
white varieties with different colored seeds. Watermelon is high in
Vitamin A & C and is a good source of lycopene. Studies show diets high
in lycopene could reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Nutritionists also
say watermelon is a heart-healthy food.
Fun Fact: Raise acold glass of watermelon beer. In Russia, watermelon
juice is used to make a unique brew.
Watermelon
Watermelon is a fruit that is terrific all by itself. You've surely sat outside on a warm summer
night, eating watermelon slices and maybe even engaging in childish contests to see who
can spit the watermelon seeds the furthest. If you really like watermelon, you've probably
tried different kinds of watermelon such as seedless varieties or yellow watermelon. But
did you know that w atermelon is not just a food that is good on its own? It's also a great
ingredient for more complex foods that benefit from the hint of watermelon flavor and the
water-based juiciness of the fruit.

Watermelon Chicken: The basic idea is to add the watermelon to the
baking of the chicken to get the additional flavor in the meat. This can
be done by adding in chunks and mixing them (do this only in the final
few minutes of cooking the meat).
