Yellow Watermelon!

Fourth of July is coming up, and I love watermelon.  Last year I also wrote about watermelon around this time.  This year, the message remains the same - gentlemen, eat your watermelon!  It has lots of lycopene which helps to prevent prostate cancer.  Ladies, eat your watermelon because you need lycopene too!

However, the surprise I have for you is that from our garden, we tried to grow heirloom yellow watermelon.  Check out my pictures!

There it is, it's really yellow!  It does taste like watermelon, this one was not as watery but still tasted just like watermelon!  I would think the nutritional qualities are slightly different, but otherwise, tastes like watermelon!  Though when I eat it, I am thrown for a loop, I must say...

In case you feel unsettled and you just need to see the familiar red watermelon, I have included a picture of our 'mini' watermelon from our garden.  You can't really tell it's minature - but the size of the seeds are kind of big for the fruit, and there is a slight rim around the right, along the peel.  It fit perfectly in a bowl :).
