Earlier this month I posted an entry about this month’s featured product, a bottle of 100 percent organic watermelon juice.
Like I said in a comment, a friend of mine attested that the juice was delicious, but another friend pointed out that although organic fruits and vegetables have their benefits, watermelon is virtually the same either way. In other words, even strict organic food eaters can enjoy a non-organically grown watermelon and not have to worry about… whatever it is they worry about.
I’m not just making that up, and neither is my friend. TheDailyGreen.com lists watermelon on its list of the “Clean 15” (“Foods you don’t have to buy organic”). They, and other sources, credit watermelon’s thick rind with helping to keep out any “bad stuff.” Others point to changes in mainstream growning and chemical application practices with making even technically non-organic watermelons some of the cleanest fruits on the market.
Whatever the reason for its purity, it’s nice to know that I don’t have to worry about where my favorite fruit has been or who’s hands have been pawing at before it makes its way into my fridge.
Watermelon despite of being organic or not is still watermelon. Still it’s juicy and delicious. To know more about organic watermelon click this link

Juicing watermelon consists of juicing the rind, where most of the nutrition is. Do you think the rind is free of toxic cancer causing pesticides and other weeding chemicals?
I want to juice the rind of a non organic watermelon where most of the micro nutrients are stored. Is that OK or do i need organic for this ?
Not ready to eat this without further proof -from where?
can the rind of the melon be juiced is it safe.
I’d still rather support an organic farmer.
Of coarse it matters… no one wants to consume pesticides.
Forget about the rind thickness keeping out pesticides, what about the fact that pesticides also seep into the soil to then be absorbed by the watermelon with water.
Organics much more better than any genetic modified. And better than anything that has patricide attached to it.
