Watermelon conjures images of summers past . . . the juice dripping down my chin, watermelon seed spitting contests with my siblings and the ever-present watermelon poolside, next to the corn on the cob on my plate and served by the giant slice for dessert.

This trip down memory lane rejuvenates my fondness for watermelon, but did you know that it is nutritious, too?

Fellow blogger Bethany writes about room temperature watermelon having more antioxidants than refrigerated melon. WebMD tells us of watermelon's high lycopene content, that watermelons are ninety-two percent water and that they are actually not a fruit at all, but a vegetable.

As if that is not enough, how about the high content of vitamins C ad A? Seems to me we should all be eating lots of watermelon.
