Happy National Watermelon Day!!!

    On National Watermelon Day, feel free to eat as much watermelon as possible (that one was for my sister, Kyleigh)!  Watermelon is a very versatile fruit, you can use it in lemonade, salads, slushies, and smoothies (Oh My).  Here are some interesting watermelon facts:

  • Watermelon is actually not a fruit at all  :o
  • Watermelon quenches inflammation which contributes to some conditions, such as asthma,diabetes, arthritis, and colon cancer
  • More than 12 hundred types of watermelon are being grown worldwide
  • Watermelon is a vegetable, related to squash and pumpkins
  • Long ago, explorers would use hollowed out watermelons as canteens.
Watermelon is a great fruit vegetable, I can't wait to make more recipes with watermelon.
A recipe with watermelon will be posted on my blog,  www.creamedcornandbiscuits.blogspot.com
