Grown for its enormous edible fruit, watermelon is a berry with a hard skin and no internal divisions that is native to tropical and temperate regions of the world. Its botanical name is pepo. Although seedless types exist, the luscious, juicy flesh is typically deep crimson to pink with many black seeds. The rind is edible after cooking, and the fruit is good any way. It can also be ingested as a juice or as a component of concoctions.
