Water melon is a very refreshing fruit that has many health benefits. Water melons contain 92% water and due to this high water content it can help you to feel full without adding much calories.
Although Goa gets fruits and vegetables from neighbouring states, many remain sceptical about them being injected with red dye or any other chemicals. The best option remains to buy directly from the farmer in Goa who grows in your own village.
Although most of the fields remain uncultivated, there are a few handful who still toil and grow paddy and other crops. Maybe we need to learn from the migrant lady who came to give her child a polio doze and saw water melons being sold in front of the village panchayat ghar. That lady knew the difference of locally grown fruits and vegetables, and chose to buy one for her family.
There is no such organised market in our village, where local fruits and vegetables can be bought fresh after being harvested. But we can always spread the word and #supportlocalfarms and encourage those who help to bring chemical-free fruits and vegetables on our tables.
