Watermelon Facts

As you know the watermelon comes in a green thick pack with the red sweetness preserved inside together with almost a hundred seeds. But actually there are many other types of watermelons too. They all differ in the color of the inside squash, and outer covers designs. Watermelons with red, yellow, pink, and orange colors of flesh are the primary classifications. But the latest hybrid types of watermelons are available without seeds. This fruit also has some types with different "skin" colors and even some with stripes, as in dark or light green and black. So we do have quite a variety of choices when we go the fruit shop and ask for this fruit.
