Melon, watermelon, flesh only, weighed whole

Watermelon is a fruit, and this entry describes its flesh, with nutrient values calculated from the weight of the whole melon rather than the flesh alone. Per 100g weighed whole, it provides 53g water and 4g carbohydrate, including 4g sugars, as well as 5mg vitamin C.

The sugars in watermelon are naturally occurring. Carbohydrate provides energy, while vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The whole-fruit weighing basis is important when comparing these values with figures given for edible flesh alone. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
