Watermelon
Watermelon is the fruit of the watermelon, a herbaceous plant with creeping, hairy stems belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family. This very large, spherical fruit is made up of a hard green rind, which surrounds a sweet and juicy pulp that is more or less reddish in color and can vary depending on the type of fruit.
Inside you can find various small seeds that can vary depending on the type of fruit. Varieties grown in recent years have evolved into seedless watermelons (triploid watermelons) or even varieties with yellow flesh.
