Watermelon is a signature of summer. This time of year, it’s always piled high in grocery bins, brightening barbecue buffets and dripping juice from little fingers and happy faces. Not only is it a tasty seasonal choice; watermelon can be a smart choice for weight loss, thanks to its high water content (it’s 92% water!) and low calories. If that’s not enough, watermelon is packed with cancer-fighting lycopene and can help you stay hydrated.
Sure, the no fuss slices are always a great option for a diet-friendly sweet treat, but watermelon is also one of the newest foods to break out as a culinary superstar. In other words, we’re all getting super creative with this waist-friendly fruit!
