Watermelon. Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.)
* Watermelon pulp contains many different vitamins (PP, C, D, B1, B2, and B6, as well as carotene), iron salts, copper, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, zinc, and folic acid. This combination of vitamins and microelements stimulates metabolic processes in the liver, improves bile composition, prevents gallstone formation in the gallbladder and bile ducts, and has an anti-sclerotic effect.
In terms of iron salt content, watermelon is second only to spinach and lettuce leaves, and in terms of the presence of folic acid, it ranks first.
The presence of lycopene in watermelon enables it to fight many types of cancer cells.
Watermelon seeds are no less beneficial: they contain 25-30% oil, which is used to make watermelon oil, which is comparable in medicinal properties to almond oil and comparable in taste to olive oil. Watermelon oil is rich in zinc and selenium.
Watermelon rinds are much richer in vitamins than the watermelon pulp itself, and they also contain many different amino acids.
