Ninety-five percent of the nutritional content in watermelon is in the rind, so think twice before you throw it in the trash! Watermelon rind is super nutrient rich and makes for a refreshing juice. Nutrients in watermelon rind include: chlorophyll, vitamin A, protein, potassium, zinc, iodine, nucleic acids and enzymes which aid digestion.
I found this great video on juicing watermelon rind and wanted to share! Enjoy!

Great tip! Thank you so much. I'm drinking watermelon juice now and I threw away the rind. :( I won't tomorrow!
