The rinds get thrown away because people have been conditioned to throw them away. While it is possible, encouraged even, to crunch on raw watermelon rinds, they are a bit more appetizing when you incorporate them into recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important Note: <\/strong>The bright green exterior should not be eaten because it typically is covered in a wax coating and pesticides. The rind is the light green flesh that often has bite marks in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/boiling-watermelon-seeds-the-secret-to-healthy-digestion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Much like watermelon seeds<\/a>, the rind is loaded with health benefits. The rind contains a surprising amount of citrulline, which gets converted into to arginine in the body. This compound is vital for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/circulation-aid-p-20.html?sgst=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">healthy circulation<\/a> and heart health. The rind is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/the-7-best-foods-to-eat-for-a-healthy-prostate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beneficial for the prostate<\/a>, it may help reduce blood pressure, and it contains a lot of anti-inflammatory properties. Some of our favorite watermelon rind recipes are listed below. We hope you enjoy them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pickled-watermelon-rinds\">Pickled Watermelon Rinds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ingredients\">Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1 cup watermelon rinds, cut into bite-size pieces<\/li><li>\u00bd tsp sea salt<\/li><li>\u00bd tsp rice vinegar<\/li><li>\u00bd tsp coconut aminos<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instructions\">Instructions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Put the salt, rice, vinegar, and coconut aminos in a bowl and whisk until the salt is dissolved.
