..........wanted to know about: Watermelon is a succulent fruit of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae), native to tropical Africa, but under cultivation on every continent except Antarctica. Its vines grow prostrate, with branched tendrils, deeply cut leaves, and flowers borne singly in the axil of a leaf. Each light yellow flower produces either pollen or fruit. The sweet, juicy flesh may be reddish, white, or yellow. Flesh color, shape of the fruit, and thickness of the rind depend on the variety. The history of watermelons is a long one; there is a Sanskrit word for watermelon, and fruits are depicted by early Egyptian artists, indicating an antiquity in agriculture of more than 4,000 years. Watermelon contains vitamin A and some vitamin C and it is 92% water. Watermelon is the third most popular fruit in the United States; however, it is really a vegetable (Citrullus lanatus), a cousin of the cucumber................................
