Dr. Ann Wigmore states in her book, Be Your Own Doctor, “The watermelon rind has the richest proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Vitamins A, B, and C are found in the rind, along with their respective enzymes and other elements. Melons aid in the elimination of uric acid, and are beneficial to the urinary tract, bladder and kidney.
“The ‘water of life’ is found in abundance in watermelons, and they will prove to be the safest means of cleaning the body’s waste, while at the same time providing nourishment. Watermelon is a wonderful aid for the person with an acid condition, as it helps balance the body to becoming more alkaline.”
So, why spend your money on vitamin pills and other concoctions for cleansing your body if you can have the detox elixir via the delicious watermelon juice? The juice is so refreshing, sweet (you might want to add some water if your body reacts to concentrated sugar) and soooo tasty, it is the REAL THING, for pennies to a glass.
Once in a while I drink only watermelon juice for a few days. It does wonders to my skin, to my overall well-being and to my grocery budget as well.
However, if this does not inspire you to go out and get a watermelon, you might want to see what else you can do with a watermelon: click at the link to check out watermelon art, amazing - www.rawbc.org/articles/watermelon_art.html.

Because cooking destroys the enzymes in the melon. See also on this blog, "124 reasons why sugar ruins your health."

I assume that think watermelon rind can even be cooked, fried or what not.
Why waste all the good stuff in it?
I know they can be boiled with sugar and then dried into very tasty desert.

Hi, Jackie. I peel the green skin off with a potato peeler, then eat the rest. No, I don't find the white part too chewy. I even crunch up the seeds when I'm eating - saves all that spitting!

Hi from New Zealand, I was greatly interested in reading the above info on watermelons. If all the 'good stuff' is in the rind is it alright just to scrub a non- organic watermelon very well if you are going to juice the rind? Hey! and how about chewing the rind ..is that a possibility or would it be too arduous and even...ugh ?!
