5 No-Cook Recipes Using Summer’s Most Hydrating Fruit
When temperatures rise, watermelon becomes the queen of our summer tables. Juicy, sweet and refreshing, it ticks all the boxes: it quenches thirst, provides vitamins, and lends itself to a thousand easy and tasty recipes. We tell you all about this star fruit of the summer, to be enjoyed without moderation.
Why is watermelon the champion of hydration?
At around 92% water, watermelon is literally a hydration bomb. Biting into a fresh slice not only quenches your thirst, but also provides a cocktail of minerals (potassium, magnesium) and antioxidants such as lycopene. Lycopene gives watermelon its beautiful red color and helps protect your cells from oxidative stress - handy when you're out in the sun!
As a bonus, watermelon is light: around 30 kcal per 100 g (3,5 oz). Perfect for satisfying a sweet craving without the guilt.
