Watermelon Slices And Juice

J for Juice for #BlogchatterA2Z. The darker the melon the Sweeter the Juice! Watermelon Juice is the elixir of summer and here are Watermelon Slices And Juice to make your summer cool. Watermelon is invariably a large fruit and a rich source of vital minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and smaller amounts of copper, iron and zinc. Its flesh is usually bright red in colour.

Watermelon has WATER

Watermelon is full of water and hence low in calories. It is said, ‘Eat melon alone or leave it alone because it will make your stomach groan’. So ideally, don’t have a meal 30 minutes before or after eating melons. Eating a large portion of watermelon can make you feel heavy and bloated, try sipping on a little tea after eating watermelon; it will make you feel much better.

Beat the Heat with Watermelon

As in tomatoes, watermelon is laden with lycopene, the red carotenoid pigment that gives it the red colour. Lycopene is an important anti-oxidant and is powerful in neutralising harmful free radicals in our bodies. Watermelon is mainly a tropical fruit and it’s undoubtedly,  the best fruit to beat the scorching heat. Watermelon can be eaten in myriad ways- on its own, in fruit salads, or as juice. You can freeze the watermelon juice to make popsicles or even add coconut to it for a unique flavour.

Sometimes the watermelon is huge and you cannot finish it. Store it in the fridge by covering the remaining portion with cling film. Watermelon is one of my favourite summer fruits as it is cooling for the body in our sweltering climate.

As we all know watermelon is more than 91 per cent water. This means that eating watermelon on a hot summer day is a juicy way to help you stay hydrated.

As watermelon juice can be cloyingly sweet on its own, I usually add ginger, lemon and mint to enhance the taste.

As the mangoes disappear. there are plums and jamun which you can again make Jamun Popsicles and Plum Popsicles. You can make these Lime ice pops anytime and impress your family or guests.

How do you pick the right Watermelon?

  • It should be heavy for its size.
  • The rind should be smooth with a dull top and here the top is the side opposite the ground spot which is yellow.
  • The thump test is one where the ripe watermelon is said to have a hollow bass sound.

Recipe for Fresh Watermelon Juice

INGREDIENTS

1 medium-size watermelon, peeled, deseeded and chopped

3 tbsp mint leaves/pudina

½ inch piece of ginger

1 lemon juice

Black salt / kaala namak to taste

Ice cubes (optional)

METHOD

  • Firstly, take a blender jar, and add the watermelon pieces, ginger, and mint leaves.
  • Next, blend it well without adding any water.
  • Now, pour the watermelon juice into tall glasses and sprinkle some black salt and squeeze a little lemon juice. Add ice cubes, if preferred,  garnish with mint leaves and serve.
  • Most people strain the juice. All the nutrients and fibre are lost. If you can drink it then keep it thick with all the pith and some chunks too.
  • Watermelon Juice or Slice is invariably nice-do you agree?

My writing was limited to school essays and projects for my kids and out of the blue, my writing career began with writing articles for the magazine section of a reputed national newspaper. I rediscovered my best subject at school and began writing with gusto. I had a weekend column in the newspaper which was well appreciated. I started off writing about Interiors and Gardens and later diverse topics like Fashion, trends, food and events in the city. Juggling my time between various jobs down the years and my writing, I have written content for fliers, brochures for colleges, speeches, social media content and also website content. I love writing and I am open to writing on a plethora of topics. My blog has some interesting insights into my life and travels but now it is mainly a food blog as I am growing organic vegetables and cooking my own produce is very therapeutic. Read my blogs to know me better. I write from my heart and what I write is what I feel... I feel a feel, A funny feel A funny feel, feel I! If you feel the feel I feel You'll feel the same as I!!
