Released in 1926, the Moon and Stars watermelon is typically a very heavy fruit as it can weigh up to 22 kg! Besides, this variety is dark green and speckled with an array of various sized yellow blotches giving the illusion of a night sky. In addition, its flesh is somewhat less dense than standard watermelons, yet it is considerably juicy and intensely sweet. As a matter of fact, watermelons are high in vitamin C, which is well researched in its ability to prevent the hardening of the arteries, increase the elasticity of the blood vessels and decrease inflammation. All of these factors can help prevent high blood pressure and heart disease.
