Watermelon is a miracle of my
Allah's creations & even its rind has a lot of minerals & nutrients.
ORP (Oxygen
reduction Potential) is a measure of the molecular charge which gives
the level of the ability of a substance to oxidize or reduce oxidation. A
positive ORP charge indicates that the substance is an oxidizer. The higher the
positive charge, the stronger the oxidizing power. A negative ORP indicates the
ability to donate electrons, the higher the negative charge, the greater the
ability to provide electrons. This is the level of the ability to be an
antioxidant. Free radicals are oxidizers and their ability to oxidize is
eliminated or reduced by the addition of electrons from atoms with a negative
ORP. Substances with a high negative ORP are called
anti-oxidants.
Once I checked ORP (Oxygen
Reduction Potential) of various fruits & I found it the highest (in
negative) for WM's rind, which means that it is a powerful Anti-Oxidant, if
consumed fresh & raw, it will reduce the oxidative stress in your
body.
At some occasions, I juice the rind
& it can also be cooked as a curry.
Remove the rind's skin with a
peeler, you can either shred it with a grater or make small pieces, cook all
ingredients of curry all together in the blessed olive oil, cooking at low heat
brings the best taste.
You will be surprised that the
taste of WM's rind is so similar to gourd, your guests will never recognize
it.
