Citrullus lanatus is a plant species in the family Cucurbitaceae, a vine-like flowering plant originating in West Africa. It is cultivated for its fruit. The subdivision of this species into two varieties, watermelons and citron melons (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides , originated with the erroneous synonymization of Citrullus lanatus Matsum. & Nakai and Citrullus vulgaris Schrad. by L.H. Bailey in 1930.Molecular data including sequences from the original collection of Thunberg and other relevant type material, show that the sweet watermelon and the bitter wooly melon Citrullus lanatus Matsum. & Nakai are not closely related to each other. Since 1930, thousands of papers have misapplied the name Citrullus lanatus Matsum. & Nakai for the watermelon, and a proposal to conserve the name with this meaning was accepted by the relevant nomenclatural committee and confirmed at the International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen,More info:wiki

SNAP-Ed also partners with others to bring EBT to more markets. This supports local agriculture and makes produce more available in communities. SNAP-Ed nutrition education classes also teach kids and adults how to eat veggies.
#9 The internet feels betrayed by this smoked watermelon that looks like ham,More info:today
Chef Will Horowitz at Ducks Eatery, a totally non-vegan restaurant in Manhattan’s East Village, is serving this kooky creation that looks a lot like a smoked ham but, you know, isn’t. It’s a watermelon, we promise.
And it’s causing quite a stir on the internet — because, well, just look at it. On the outside, it looks like a perfectly browned, juicy roast and then, as it’s carved into, it looks like that roast is extremely undercooked and pretty bloody.
