Offer only small seed-free pieces of plain ripe flesh. Avoid rind, large seeds, and seasoned fruit snacks.
Watermelon is a sweet melon with high water content and crisp red, pink, or yellow flesh. Mostly water with natural sugars and small amounts of vitamins A and C.
Common at summer cookouts as wedges, cubes, and fruit salads. The hard rind is fibrous and difficult to digest; large black seeds can be swallowed whole.
Flavored fruit cups may include syrup, chili-lime seasoning, or sweetened juice. Frozen pops and candied rind products add extra sugar.
