The flesh provides 8.1 milligrams of vitamin C, 28 micrograms of vitamin A equivalents, and 112 milligrams of potassium per 100 grams; it is also a dietary source of the pigment lycopene. Protein and fat are minimal at 0.61 and 0.15 grams. Because of its high moisture and low fiber, watermelon delivers sweetness with one of the lowest calorie densities among common fruits.
