Watermelon is a heavyweight in the nutrient department. A standard serving (about 2 cups) has 1/3 of a day's vitamins A and C and a nice shot of potassium for only 85 fat-free, salt-free calories. And when they're in season, watermelons are often locally grown, which means they may have smaller carbon footprints than some other fruits.
