Water melon Lesson
A watermelon is a type of edible fruit. They are 92% water. About six percent
of a watermelon is sugar. This makes them very sweet. There are many different tlypes of watermelon. Some have a green rind on the outside and a redpink flesh on the inside, with black seeds. Some can have yellow flesh, and
some can be seedless. The green rind on the outside is not usually eaten,
though it can be used as a vegetable. It can also be stewed or pickled. Most
watermelons are oblong or spherical. In Japan, watermelons are grown in different shapes. Many people like to eat watermelon in the summer because the
fruit is cool and refreshing.
Watermelons are a great source vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and vitamin
B1. They also contain potassium, magnesium, carotenoid antioxidant, and
lycopene. Watermelons are fruits and a vine-like plant but they are edible.
When you pick up the melon, pay attention to how heavy it is. Watermelons
are more than 90 percent water, so the most juicy melons are going to be the
ones that seem very heavy for their size.

How to Check For Ripeness
Strain the cut watermelon
in a colander using folk to
make juice.
Add sugar in watermelon
juice and heat it in micro
wave for 1minute.
Add gelatin and mix well.
Prepare the candy mould with
brushing with oil. then wiping
it gently with a paper towel to
leave just a very thin layer of
oil in the molds.
There are several different ways to tell if a watermelon is ripe.
1. Look on the bottom of the melon. You will find a discolored spot where
the melon was in contact with the ground while it was growing. If this spot is
light green, the melon is not yet ripe. If the spot is a yellowish-white color, the
melon is probably ripe.
2. You can also test for ripeness by scratching the surface of a watermelon
with your fingernail. A greenish-white color beneath the outermost layer of
the rind indicates a ripe watermelon.
3. You can also tell if a watermelon is ripe by thumping it, if you know what
you are listening for. When you thump the side of a ripe watermelon, it will
sound as if the fruit is hollow. If you hear a thud or a tone that is high in pitch,
you're dealing with a fruit that isn't ripe.
