The watermelon is a very good and nutritious food product. Not only is it delicious it is nutritious also. And practically the whole thing can be eaten. That's right. Not only the juicy red inside but also the the whitish rind, the seeds and even the outside green skin. Many people have heard of pickled watermelon rind, but there are many other dishes that can be made from watermelon rinds. The raw food community cuts up and will put practically the whole melon in the blender. The seeds can be used in various ways like roasted and salted or as thickeners and drinks like horchata de melon.
Just like any raw produce the watermelon has to be washed before eaten. Since it has a thick smooth skin it can also be scrubbed with a produce or vegetable brush.
