25 Delicious Watermelon Recipes

Watermelon is an action packed fruit bursting with essential nutrients including vitamins A, B6 and C. Along with the vitamins, each serving of watermelon has significant amounts of antioxidants, amino acids and lycopene.

The health benefits of the watermelon makes this a fruit worth incorporating into your menu. Comprised of 92% water, the watermelon is low in calories, low in oxalates , low fat and low sodium plus a great way to increase your daily water intake. I know attempting to drink 8 glasses of water a day can be a distinct challenge and I’m for anything that makes that challenge a little easier.

Current scientific research of lycopene links the phytonutrient as an antioxidant with anti inflammatory properties to promote heart and bone health. If you are interested in reading in detail about the health benefits of watermelon, an article will be soon forthcoming.

Browse through the creative selection of watermelon recipes to find refreshing ideas to incorporate this fruit into your daily menu and enjoy a slice of watermelon, beverage or watermelon dessert.

Let’s fire up the grill and grill a few watermelon slices! I suspect I will be opening up my menu horizon creating a few easy grilled watermelon meals.
