Nancy from Summerfield North Carolina would like to know, what will happen if you eat watermelon rind? If you eat watermelon rind your body will absorb a nice healthy dose of vitamins and minerals. The old wives' tale that it will upset your stomach just isn't true. Watermelon rind contains more vitamins and minerals than the pink watermelon flesh, and is healthier for you. The only way that eating watermelon rind would upset your stomach, is if the rind is rotten, or if you consume too much of it. When eating watermelon rind, use the same judgement as you would while eating fresh green apples. Obviously you wouldn't eat four green apples on an empty stomach. Moderation is the key to benefiting from eating rind. I hope that answers Nancy's question. Please feel free to send us an email with any further questions.
