summer and watermelons

Our summer meal as a family is not complete without the crisp, cold, and juicy watermelon. I guess summer and watermelon are inseparable especially if you're living in a tropical country such as ours.
Other than the water content, the beautiful red watermelon is filled with high concentration of lycopene and some of nature's antioxidants. It is packed with Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. Everything about it is healthy so obviously, eating watermelon to quench the summer thirst is a safer than taking energy drinks.

A stroll around the city will show you several fruit stalls. I usually buy from Beth's Pakwan (which means watermelon in Tagalog) along Don Bonifacio Avenue. If you're from Balibago and going to NLEX/Angeles Municipal Hall, the store is after Caltex Gasoline Station.

So eat up and take advantage of the nutritious, bright red watermelons this summer. I'm actually enjoying a big slice right now. Happy watermelon slurping!
