For a hot day, how about have taking watermelon to clear your body heat?

I took this picture when I visited a supermarket in USJ 1 on Thursday, 5th April 2018. It was a hot day and I could not resist to take out my smartphone and snapped this photo.

Watermelon is a tropical fruit commonly found in a country like Malaysia. It is sold in fruit stalls, supermarket, even on the roadside. It is relatively cheap and is sold by weight on kg. Because it is full of juice, each unit easily weights about 1-2 kg.

You can cut it into a slice of 1 inch wide and bit with your teeth or cut the flesh into a cube and blend it with a fruit juice blender. Caution though, you need to remove the seed before you blend it.

Citrullus lanatus is a plant species in the family Cucurbitaceae, a vine-like (scrambler and trailer) flowering plant originally from sub-Saharan Africa. It is cultivated for its fruit. The subdivision of this species into two varieties, watermelons (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) var. lanatus) and citron melons (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides (L. H. Bailey) Mansf.), originated with the erroneous synonymization of Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai and Citrullus vulgaris Schrad
