Warm Watermelon Juice

Yesterday I read an article which said that the reason watermelon juice is not offered to consumers is because watermelons have low "squeezability" ratings. However, in the future, with new technology, watermelons will be squeezed, and you should find watermelon juice in your grocers juice section.

My grandfather used to play a joke on waitresses. Whenever he would go to a restaurant, he would request warm watermelon juice to drink. I'm sure he pulled the leg of many a waitress. The tables were turned on him once, however, when a friend of his called the restaurant in advance. That time when he requested warm watermelon juice, it was actually brought to his table! LOL

An American favorite for meals and snacks. People can’t seem to get enough of the sweet treat, and nutritionists have long appreciated the health benefits watermelon provides. Recently research has shed new light on its potential health benefits. Watermelon contains high concentrations of lycopene, an antioxidant that may help reduce the risks of cancer and other diseases. Watermelon is fat free, nutritionally low in calories and considered an ideal diet food, and is high in energy, making it a great energy boost!

Watermelon, the fruit that is really a Vegetable. Watermelon can be traced back to Africa and is part of the cucumber and squash family. Early watermelons were mainly rind and seeds. Today's varieties are larger, the flesh sweeter, the seeds smaller and the rind thinner. It is perhaps the most refreshing, thirst quenching fruit of all. Watermelon consists of 92% water and 8% sugar, so it is aptly named. Americans eat over 17 lbs of watermelon each year. The largest one on world record (Guinness Book of World Records) weighed 262 pounds.
