Watermelon is not just for summer picnics anymore. In recent years, watermelon has become available year-round. Watermelon is rich in lycopene, a carotenoid that has significant disease-preventing potential. Also found in guavas, tomatoes and grapefruit, lycopene may help reduce the risk of certain cancers and help fight heart disease. A 2-cup serving of watermelon also contains significant levels of vitamins A, B6 and C, as well as potassium.
The bottom line is that one should consider eating watermelon year-round.
