Description
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a popular summer fruit known for its refreshing taste and rich water content. In appearance, watermelons are usually bright green with dark and light stripes on the surface, forming a unique pattern. The fruit is large, mostly round or oval in shape, and can weigh several kilograms or even more than ten kilograms. After cutting, the bright red or pink flesh is revealed, with black or dark brown seeds in the center. The flesh is crisp, tender, juicy and sweet, suitable for enjoying in hot summer.
