In addition, many contain anti-oxidant lycopene, beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin, enzymes, organic acids, and natural sugars.

Watermelon can also be eaten directly or used as a juice to drink when breaking the fast. Keep your friends in mind that watermelon storage in the refrigerator over the long term can change the nutritional content and taste of watermelon. However, to ensure good taste and nutrition, watermelon should be cooled 30 minutes before cutting. The short cooling process can shrink the cells to the fruit so that the nutrient content stays inside the cell and does not come out when cut.
