Not only does watermelon taste amazing but it has great health benefits too! I believe you should always know what your eating, so here comes the science bit.... Watermelon is a Lycopene food, along with pink grapefruit and guava. Lycopene is a carotenoid phytonutrient that's important for our cardiovascular and bone health.
Recent studies have confirmed the nutritional importance of allowing a watermelon to fully ripen. The biggest jump in lycopene content occurs at the time when a watermelon's flesh turns from white-pink to pink. And when flesh continues to ripen, resulting in a color change from pink to red, the lycopene content becomes even more concentrated. So! To get the optimum health benefits for your delicious watermelon juice, use a lovely juicy ripe watermelon.
Watermelon Juice
1/4 Large Ripe Watermelon cut into small chunks
