Watermelon or tarabūja has so many health benefits… Despite popular belief that watermelon is made up of only water and sugar, watermelon is actually considered a nutrient dense food, a food that provides a high amount of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for a low amount of calories. Watermelon also contains fibers that are great for your digestive system. The are good for your eyes and also helps reduce fat from body.
During summer one favorite Indian cooling drink is aam panna – made from raw mangoes by boiling the pulp and mixing it with indian spices. In this watermelon mint juice I tried using same spices and the result is watermelon panna :-) It taste really great.
