The watermelon is a useful plant originating from central and southern Africa and cultivated nowadays in warmer regions around the world. Watermelon refers not just to the fruit but also to the plant producing it. The fruit is a 20 to 60 cm long round to cylindric berry with a light to dark green colored rind and a juicy, mostly sweet pulp, usually colored pink, red or yellow and sometimes orange.
