Did you know that watermelon has many nutrients? About one cup (154g) of that fruit have only (!) 46 calories and contains vitamins like:

Vitamin C (21% of the RDI)
Vitamin A (18% of the RDI)
Potassium (5% of the RDI)
Magnesium (4% of the RDI)
Vitamins B1, B5 and B6 (3% of the RDI)

Watermelon has a lot of carotenoids, therein beta-carotene (which our body converts that into vitamin A), lycopene which belong to carotenoids but it's not getting converted into vitamin A and potassium. It is a strong antioxidant which gives a red colour for plants food such as watermelon and tomatoes.
