Despite being giant sugar orbs, watermelons are apparently surprisingly high in micronutrients, moreso than cantaloupe or honeydew melons even. The small seedless watermelons that have appeared in recent years are the best source of these.

- TylerE 6y agoThere really isn't that much sugar in watermelon as far as fruits go. The lowest sugar fruits are the berries - raspberries and strawberries are both ~4.5-5g sugar per 100g. Watermelon is 6g/100g. On the higher end, apples and oranges are both ~10g/100g, Bananas 12, and Grapes 16.
