Watermelons are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Apart from these major benefits, watermelons have many other health benefits for anti inflammation, kidney health, and many more .
How to choose good quality watermelon for juice
Look for dull not shiny – Watermelon which have shiny skin is unripe so go for dull skin.
More heavy more ripe– Follow this tip, lift the watermelon, more heavy means it’s full of water.
Look for field spot– If watermelon has yellow spot , it means it is ripened in sun in field rather than the ones which got white spot, It means it was picked too early hence not ripe.
Knocking method– In this method people knock the watermelon with their knuckles to hear the sound but unfortunately I don’t understand this method, so can’t explain this 🙁
Now let’s talk about the recipe. Watermelon juice recipe is no rocket science, it is darn easy. Cut the watermelon in pieces, pulp out in a dish and blend it with few ingredients. It’s done. Isn’t it easy ?? It takes me about 5 – 8 minutes to prepare. For people following weight loss diet, having a full glass of watermelon juice before meal provides hydration, nutrition and few calories. I love it:-)If you are looking for drinks recipe You may like Mango milkshake, Thai iced tea and blueberry mojito recipe.
