Now is the time when watermelons are on the market, and they are delicious and cheap! My family''s habit is to eat half a watermelon almost every day. And most of the time I bought it after get off work, put it in the refrigerator to cool down, and eat it at night. This habit (only in the season when watermelons are delicious and cheap) has been going on for several years.

　　 Recently, people often asked me who could not eat watermelon casually. This makes me wonder. A look at the Internet is amazing, there are many people talking about the taboos of eating watermelon. What are the taboos of eating watermelon? If you don’t try to force the meeting (for example, someone who says “allergic to watermelon” should not eat watermelon, which is very farfetched), it is easy to get the answer: anyone who can drink water can Eating watermelon-I mean, eating watermelon is not particularly taboo. Why?

　　Watermelon water content is as high as 93.3%, sugar content 5.8%, protein content 0.6%, fat content 0.1%, dietary fiber 0.3%; vitamins and minerals total about 0.2% (different watermelon The nutritional composition is different. This value comes from the "Chinese Food Composition Table 2002" compiled by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Nutrition. Because the detection method and detection data are rounded, the proportion of each ingredient is added to 100.3%). From these values, the main components (99.1%) of watermelon are water and sugar. Except for patients with edema or renal insufficiency who need to limit the amount of drinking water, the rest of the population does not need to limit the amount of drinking water; there are fewer taboos on sugars in fruits, and patients with diabetes can also take in moderation. No one needs taboo vitamins. In terms of minerals, whether it is potassium or sodium content, watermelon is not much fruit. Therefore, we can easily conclude that anyone who can drink water can eat watermelon.

　　By the way, tell everyone the trick to pick a good watermelon: The whole watermelon can be distinguished from good or bad by tapping the melon body and listening to its sound. What about the half-cut watermelon that has been cut? It mainly depends on the melon seeds (except for seedless watermelons). The melon seeds (or most melon seeds) are fruity and full. Those who are large and black are more delicious; the melon seeds are not full, there are many Those with small, white seeds have a bad taste.
