Watermelon is believed to have first been domesticated over 4,000 years ago in Northeast Africa (1Trusted Source).
It’s sweet and juicy, making it the perfect treat to quench your thirst during the summer heat.
This large round fruit has a green rind and bright red flesh. It’s also packed with nutrients, including antioxidants and vitamins A and C.
Helps you stay hydrated
Staying hydrated is important for your body to function properly.
Packed with nutrients and beneficial plant compounds
Watermelon contains a variety of nutrients, including potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A and C. It’s also relatively low in calories, containing just 46 per cup (152 grams) (5Trusted Source).
So We sharing a recipe from Togan People. Just because this is one of my most favorite drink.
This ‘Otai is a great drink for a hot summer day. It is also very quick to prepare- just combine shredded watermelon with canned pineapple, shredded coconut, and coconut milk in a large bowl. Add in enough water to reach your desired consistency (some use coconut water).
Stir in sugar to taste and serve chilled with crushed ice for a delicious and refreshing drink. Other variations may include mango or mountain apple (fekkika).
