Everybody enjoy watermelon in the summer since it is sweet and cooling. Several people even try watermelon diets in an effort to lose weight quickly. Most people prefer to eat watermelon after freezing it in the refrigerator. Studies suggest that cooling a watermelon may cause some of its valuable nutrients to be lost. In their research, the United States Department of Agriculture found that watermelon stored at ambient temperature contains more nutrients than watermelon stored in the refrigerator.
