Juicy watermelon is a sweet treat to enjoy in the summer time. Farmers typically grow it in 8-12 foot rows and it must be pollinated by honeybees. This fruit is the most frequently consumed fruit in the United States. This juicy fruit is 92% water and most of its weight is from its water content. It is high in vitamins A, C, and B6 as well as potassium. Grab this sweet treat on August 30!
