Description
Watermelon juice is a natural drink made by blending or juicing the juicy flesh of watermelons. Known for its sweet and refreshing taste, it’s often enjoyed as a standalone beverage or mixed with other ingredients for a delightful twist. With its high water content—around 92%—watermelon juice is perfect for quenching thirst and staying hydrated, especially on hot days.
