HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

When it comes to Valentine’s Day snacks, the box of chocolates pretty much has the market cornered, but I’d argue that watermelon should have a greater presence on this holiday.

How do I love thee on this romantic day? Allow me to count the ways:



  • Would you rather get a box of chocolates or a big, juicy watermelon? Sure, some of you would opt for the chocolates, but I’d take the watermelon any day.
  • Watermelon can fit into a heart healthy diet. Watermelon is certified by the American Heart Association’s “Heart-Check Mark” program.  It is low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
  • It’s red (at least on the inside), which is the color-of-choice for this day of love.

So there you have it. Three reasons watermelon should be synonymous with Valentine’s Day! Can you think of any other reasons I might be forgetting?
