There are many varieties of watermelon with the rind varying from green to yellow to white. The flesh color also varies from red to pink and orange. Watermelons are a good source of vitamin C and vitamin A (beta carotene). Additionally, red watermelons have the phytonutrient, lycopene, which protects against prostate cancer.
