It’s watermelon day. Comprising of more than 90 water, this fruit is a favourite food of children and adults all over the world. With every bite comes a burst of flavour and it can be eaten all year round. Watermelon has significant levels of vitamins A, B6 and C, lycopene, antioxidants, amino acids, and even potassium. It is fat-free, very low in sodium and has only 40 calories per cup. Watermelon is great in fruit salads, frosted with whipped cream and eaten with other berries, made into a smoothie, put on sticks and iced as watermelon popsicles, and so on. The choices are endless. With all the benefits attached to eating (or drinking, thanks to Beyonce) watermelon, it is only right for this special fruit to have its own special day.

Celebrate today with this easy-to-make watermelon sorbet.
