Watermelon is a fruit, and the figures here describe its edible flesh only, without the rind. It consists mainly of water and provides carbohydrate, mostly as naturally occurring sugars, alongside some vitamin C. Per 100g, the flesh contains 92g of water, 7.1g of carbohydrate and 8mg of vitamin C, and provides 133 kJ of energy.
Water in food contributes to fluid intake. Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Watermelon contains little fat or salt, while its carbohydrate content is relevant for people monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
