YELLOW WATERMELON

     Yellow watermelon is as natural as a red watermelon.  In fact, while you may be more familiar with the latter, yellow watermelon were actually cultivated first and have grown in Africa for almost 5,000 years. As with much of our fruit today, farmers selectively bred the melon to develop its color, texture, and flavor. From a health standpoint, both varieties contain a substantial amount of vitamins A and C, which work to support your immune system. While the yellow variety doesn’t contain lycopene, it has its own strong antioxidant called beta-carotene. This is the same organic pigment that gives cantaloupes and sweet potatoes a similar yellow or orange color. Yellow watermelon tastes remarkably similar to red watermelon. When you bite into the crisp meat, you’ll find it essentially equal in texture and juiciness. The one notable difference besides their color is that yellow can taste a bit sweeter, with a honey-like flavor.  Yellow watermelon is grown in the USA, packed in 4/5 count cases and is now in the market.
