Do watermelons have any nutritional value?

Question

I just read somewhere that they have Lycopene....

Answer 1

yeah, they're the second healthiest fruit (dont ask what the first is, idk)

One cup of diced watermelon is about 90% water, and contains 50 calories (doesn't sound too bad to me). 44 of these calories do come from sugar, but let me say that this is a natural, healthy fruit sugar. If we remember our "Sugar, Not an Enemy" tip, we will remember that sugar is vital for our energy, and it is the sole source of fuel for our brain. Along with water and sugar, watermelon contains vitamin C while our cup has less than 1 g of fat, with no cholesterol.


Now, what else does watermelon have? Watermelon contains the phytochemical lycopene, one of our colorful disease preventing cartenoids!

"Watermelon is fat free and is a source of vitamins A, B6, C, and thiamin. Studies have shown that a cup and a half of watermelon contains about 9 to 13 milligrams of lycopene. On average, watermelon has about 40 percent more lycopene than raw tomatoes.

Answer 4

They have vitamin C, but not as much as other fruit, and other than that all they do is inject pure sugar into your bloodstream so you will have energy for a half hour and then crash and feel tired and crave more sugar a couple of hours later.

Answer 5

Yes, they have lycopene, second only to tomatoes, also vitamins A and C, Beta-carotene, and a lot of potassium.

Answer 6

A few carbs, LOTS of water, and a bit of Vitamin C.

Not much. They are actually a horrible source of sugars. Basically just water and fruit sugar.
