Watermelon Seeds:
Watermelon Seeds (Citrullus Lanatus) are small and black or slightly mottled black / brown in colour. There are between 200 – 400 seeds in a watermelon, depending upon the size of the fruit. Although usually discarded, the seeds are edible and delicious when roasted. The tiny seeds are super nutritious and healthy. These seeds have a low-calorie count and are rich in micro-nutrients like zinc, magnesium, potassium, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids etc.
Watermelon seeds boost immunity, heart health and help to control blood sugar levels. 4-5 grams of watermelon seeds can cover 20 to 25 % of your body’s zinc needs. Since Watermelon Seeds are low in sugar, they are a perfect snack for mid-day snacking. However, if you go heavy on the portion, there are chances that you may start putting on weight. Watch out for quantity. These seeds can easily be added to your diet, allowing you to reap their many positive effects.
