USDA: Edible part often discarded
The USDA has officially added a nutrition profile for watermelon rind, highlighting its edible and nutritious qualities. Despite most consumers discarding the rind, it contains low calories, fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, and can be incorporated into various recipes such as smoothies, pickles, or salads. The move aims to promote food waste reduction and encourage the use of the entire watermelon, with increased interest in rind recipes driven by food creators and health professionals.
