"Semences de Kokopelli" by Dominique Guillet
This variety originated in the United States and was introduced in Oklahoma in 1956. It is also known as "Icebox Midget". It was bred from "Tough Sweets" for 13 years.
Watermelon contains almost 92% water and little fiber, making it easier to digest for people with sensitive intestines. Rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that gives it its red color, it has cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory and cell-protecting properties. Its content of amino acids and vitamin C contributes to a healthy immune system. The seeds are also rich in vitamin C, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.
