Nothing says ‘summer’ quite like watermelon. Whether used in a vibrant salad, watermelon sandwich, grilled on the braai, we simply can’t get enough of it! These are our favourite watermelon recipes, and some reasons why we love this pretty pink and green fruit.<\/p>\n

\"watermelon<\/p>\n

Did you know…<\/h4>\n

>> Watermelon gets its deep red colouring from the phytonutrient, lycopene, just like tomatoes do. This nutrient is actually found in higher quantities in watermelons.<\/p>\n

>> The riper and redder your watermelon, the higher the levels of antioxidants\/amino acids.<\/p>\n

>> Every part of watermelon is edible! In fact the white bits close to the rind are pretty nutrient-dense. Don\u2019t even think about spitting out those pips \u2013 swallow them or lightly roast for a snack. Lastly, if you aren\u2019t already doing so, be sure to pickle those rinds.<\/p>\n
