International Day: Watermelon, summer fruit

The world annually celebrates "World Watermelon Day" on August 3rd. This unofficial occasion highlights the importance of this refreshing fruit, which is associated with the summer season and enjoys widespread popularity despite not being recognized as an official event by the United Nations. Watermelon has been cultivated for thousands of years in Africa and has gradually spread to various parts of the world. It comes in a variety of colors and sizes. Known for its ability to hydrate the body thanks to its 92% water content, watermelon is also low in calories—approximately 46 calories per cup of cubes—and contains vitamins C and A, as well as antioxidants like lycopene, which gives the flesh its red color. It is mainly consumed in the summer through fresh slices, juices, and salads. It is also used in recipes combined with mint or cheese, enhancing freshness and providing a cooling effect in hot weather.
