From the wikipedia site on water melons
The citrulline which exists in watermelon (especially in the rind) is a
known stimulator of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is thought to relax and
expand blood vessels, much like the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra,
and may even increase libido.[32]
Apparently the rind is edible...


LOL! That's downright subversive, that is!

My husband doesn't need to know this small factoid about watermelons and
I will be Vigilant that he doesn't eat too much of the stuff. For his
own well-being, you understand... ;-

FWIW, me dear old Mum ate watermelon rind when she was a tot and nearly
died of ulcerative colitis caused, as the doctors said, by the
'chemicals' in the rind.
