5 Reasons You Should Not Spit Out Your Watermelon Seeds

July 14, 2020 by Anya Leave a Comment

The next time when you eat watermelon, don’t spit out the seeds. Curious why? Watermelon seeds are loaded with nutrients such as fatty acids, essential proteins and a huge amount of minerals. In fact, 4,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt, people cultivated watermelons just to eat the seeds, not the fruit.

Watermelon seeds are packed with vitamin B like Thiamin, niacin, folate. Watermelon seeds contain minerals like magnesium, Copper, manganese, phosphorus, Zinc, Iron, and potassium.

Apple Cider Vinegar lowers blood sugar levels better than Metformin (a popular anti-diabetic medication). This is what I take daily - here 

Watermelon seeds are also great source of dietary fibers which are necessary for healthy bowel movements and digestion.
