Packed with some of the most important antioxidants in nature. Watermelon is an excellent source of vitamin C and a very good source of vitamin A.
Watermelon is also a very concentrated source of the carotenoid, lycopene which has been extensively studied for its antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties.
Because this food has a higher water content and lower calorie content than many other fruits (a whole cup of watermelon contains only 48 calories), it delivers more nutrients per calorie-an outstanding health benefit!
