hint

In order to make a watermelon diet beneficial and happy, it is important to choose a high-quality fruit, as this is the dietary foundation upon which your well-being and health depend.

  • Don't pounce on the first watermelon, as there are usually many in the early fruitNitrate, this also applies to oversized berries (over 12 kg).
  • You can't buy berries with "lined" buckets, and it doesn't matter in our opinion that spoiled ones can be cut off, but the bacteria in the sweet, juicy pulp of a watermelon spreads too quickly and can be very dangerous.
  • Avoid sluggish fruits as they contain less beneficial vitamins and sugars that have time to break down due to long-term storage.

food price

It changes every year because inflation affects both imported and domestic products. Also, the price of watermelon varies by season, location and where it is sold, but on average, the diet is not expensive and can be afforded by almost anyone.
