Did You Know? Watermelons are 92% water, which is how they got their name! In Japan, farmers grow watermelons in cube-shaped boxes so they grow into perfect square shapes — making them easier to stack and store. Watermelons are actually both a fruit AND a vegetable, because they are related to cucumbers, pumpkins, and squash.
