Citrullus lanatus, a scientific name for watermelon. Melons are refreshing and most delicious fruit I loved. It is rich with many nutrients which is good for the health. Normally a watermelon’s shape is circle, which becomes a common problem in storing inside the refrigerator because it rolls. But, have you seen a square watermelon here in the Philippines? In foreign countries, square watermelon exists. Square watermelons are developed at Zentsuji Southern Japan. It is sold for about 10,000 yen or $82 that only the rich can afford to buy. Japan’s regular watermelon costs only $15 - $25 each.
