Watermelon

Watermelon is a tasty summer treat. Watermelon is not lightweight in the nutrient department. A one cup serving only has 50 calories. It contains vitamin A and C. It also contains potassium. Watermelon has no fat and cholesterol.

Watermelon has been designated as one of the “clean 15”, the fruits and vegetables with the fewest pesticide residues according to the Environmental Working Group.

So next time you go the grocery store or farmers market, stop and pick up a watermelon for a tasty, summer treat. If a whole watermelon is more than can be consumed, try one of the smaller watermelons that are designed for one or two people.
