Watermelons produce an antioxidant called lycopene which gives watermelon the pink/reddish colour. You also find lycopene in tomato and guava. It is an essential nutrient for us.
I must admit I did not know that. How interesting.
A quick Wiki search has also turned up a couple of other interesting things.
Did you know that not all Watermelons are pink? Depending on the species, watermelons can also have yellow, green, or white flesh? Does this mean that these types of watermelons don’t have lycopene?
