The Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a scrambling vine believed to have originated in southern Africa but has long been in cultivation even in ancient Egypt.
Watermelons are a good source of Vitamins A & C, potassium, iron and lycopene. The rind, although not very appealing fresh, is edible and is often cooked in stir frys and other asian dishes to unlock its many hidden nutrients.
Watermelon is widely grown throughout warmer climates with China being the worlds biggest producer. The Northern Territory and Queensland are the major Australian growing areas, the town of Chinchilla in Queensland holds the annual Melon Festival in February.
