In Israel and Egypt, the sweet taste of watermelon is often paired with the salty taste of feta cheese. Watermelon is 92% water. Watermelon's official name is Citrullus lanatus of the botanical family Curcurbitacae and is related to cucumbers, pumpkins and squash. Watermelon is an ideal health food because it doesn't contain any fat or cholesterol, and is an excellent source of vitamins A; B6 & C.
