What is the difference of a yellow watermelon to the red ones?
YELLOW WATERMELON – Here are the differences of watermelon in yellow and red pigments aside from their color that you should know.
Watermelons are the best to eat in any kind of celebration most especially during the summer. Not only this is delicious but this also contains nutritional and essential contents. This kind of fruit has varieties and among the most common we usually see in the markets are those in color red and yellow.
First, let’s identify their similarities and they are the following:
- green outer color
- sweet and juicy
- black seeds
- high water content
The canary yellow watermelon, however, is much sweeter than that of the red one for it has a hint of honey flavor. The reason behind the color difference is because the red contains a phytonutrient called Lycopene, the same antioxidants which makes the tomatoes red.
This is linked to improving heart and prostate health and prevent certain types of cancer. Excessive consumption might lead to diarrhea, nausea, and among others.
And the color yellow is because it lacks in Lycopene and what it has is beta-carotene which is the same chemical content that gives the carrots its shade. This is high in heart-healthy minerals magnesium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium.
According to Organic Facts, a recent research showed that the nutritional contents of a yellow watermelon include high levels of vitamin A and vitamin C, less than 50 calories in a one-cup serving, and moderate amounts of potassium and sodium.
