Watermelons are one of the biggest fruits you will ever see, and they can grow to be really, really heavy! Watermelons have a tough green skin on the outside, but when you cut one open, the inside is bright red, pink, or sometimes even yellow. They have been enjoyed for thousands of years.
Watermelons grow on vines that crawl along the ground. Ancient Egyptians were some of the first people to grow them. Most watermelons have small black seeds inside, but some are specially grown to be seedless so you do not have to spit them out.
Watermelons are about 92 percent water, which means they are almost like eating a glass of water in fruit form! That is why they taste so refreshing and cool on a hot summer day. You can eat watermelon in slices, scoop it into balls, blend it into juice, or even grill it for a warm treat.
