With spring in the air, todays super fruit is the watermelon. Who doesn't love watermelon. Its peak season is
August, but sometimes you can find it in some sort all year round. Watermelon is a good source of vitamin C and A. It
also contains a phytochemical called lycopene that helps reduce risk of cardiovascular disease and some cancers
making it a standout summer fruit. Surprisingly, watermelon is also a fair source of iron with 2% of your daily
value in 1 cup. It contains about 50 calories per cup, and is 91% water.
There are many different types and colors of this yummy super fruit. Enjoy watermelon slices grilled for a more
caramelized flavor or toss cubes of melon with feta cheese and mint for a great gluten free salad.
So as spring and summer are soon to arrive, get your hands on this great super fruit.
