Growing up, watermelon was one of my least favorite fruits. I hated all those big black seeds you had to spit out and frankly, it just didn’t taste that good to me. But back then, I didn’t know what I know now: watermelon is bursting with disease-fighting nutrients and it’s so good for us. Think cancer
