Don’t throw away that watermelon rind! Watermelon rind is very nutrient rich. It has chlorophyll, vitamin A, protein, potassium, zinc, iodine, nucleic acids and enzymes which aid digestion.
Ninety-five percent of the nutritional content in watermelon is in the rind. The seeds may be a little noisy but are harmless to the juicer.
Here is a delicious and healthy way to use watermelon rind:
1 wedge watermelon
1/2 lb. red grapes
Because watermelon is a great diuretic, your kidneys and bladder will be rejuvenated. You can add just about any fruit or vegetable to watermelon juice, so experiment and have some fun. This is a great weight loss juicing recipe.
