Watermelon Contains Similar Ingredients As What?

by Paul Nicheols » Thu Jul 10, 2008 10:34 pm

While tearing up a Velocity to light the smoker with, the only use I could find for them, I noticed the following on page 7. Researchers at Texas A&M found that watermelon contains similar ingredients as Viagra. To achieve its full effect, however, one would need to eat six cups of watermelon, which might then cause diarrhea. However it didn't state that if it lasts for more than six hours you should contact your local produce company.

I saw a piece on some news magazine this week about this. According to the report the chemical is in the watermelon rind and not the fruit.
Looks like it's time to post some watermelon pickle receipes.
