NEVER, BUT DO NOT PUT THE WATERMELON IN THE REFRIGERATOR: You are making a cardinal mistake, stop doing it immediately!

Watermelon is one of the best things you can treat yourself to in the summer because it consists of 90% water

It is full of nutrients such as vitamins aic, beta-carotene, lycopene, iron, zinc and many minerals.

Research conducted by the US Department of Agriculture shows that all of us who put watermelon in the refrigerator before consuming it are wrong.

Namely, according to experts, watermelon should be kept at room temperature in order to retain all the nutrients it is rich in. When cold, watermelon loses most of its vitamins and nutrients.

Another thing that scientists have discovered is that watermelon continues to produce vitamins and nutrients even after it is harvested, but again - only if it is at room temperature. When we put it in the fridge, that process slows down significantly.

As part of the research, the scientists put watermelon at 21, 12 and 5 degrees for 14 days, and it turned out that those that were stored at 21 degrees have 40 percent more lycopene and 50 to 139 percent more beta carotene.

The fact that foods lose their nutritional properties when kept in the refrigerator is not unknown.

Watermelon is one of the best things you can treat yourself to in the summer because it consists of 90% water, so it will hydrate and refresh you. Due to its properties, it is also ideal for children, and it is full of nutrients such as vitamins aic, beta-carotene, lycopene, iron, zinc and many minerals.
