A two-cup serving of watermelon contains excellent levels of vitamins A, B6 and C, and also serves as a valuable source of potassium.
At 92% water, watermelon delivers needed fluids and nutrients to the body, including lycopene - which as been studied for its potential role in reducing risk of heart disease, various cancers and protection to skin from harmful UV rays - and citrulline - which can help maintain blood flow with the heart and cardiovascular function.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), you should wash all fruits and vegetables, including all melons, in clean, running water before eating them. If you purchase a cut piece of watermelon, rinse the rind portion with fresh water. Don't forget to dry too! This is true of all fruits and vegetables, rinds or not.
We are dedicated to following the most current GFSI standards in all farms, harvest crews and packing houses. We support and work with our our Growers and facilities to ensure up-to-date practices are in place and followed.
All farms and facilities use the latest GFSI standards and guidelines. Trained staff perform and continuous monitor adherence to those standards. Annually, each farm and facility are third-party audited using a fully recognized audit scheme covering the Food Safety Management System, Good Agricultural Practices and Good Manufacturing Practices.
2023-2024 PrimusGFS audits for farms and facilities available below.
