Please let me know the nutrition value of white portion of watermelon. Is it advisable to juice it along the red portion or is it just waste and has to be cut and thrown.

The rind may not be as juicy as the flesh of a watermelon, but you can eat it. A 1-inch cube of watermelon rind contains 1.8 calories. The majority of the calories come from carbohydrates, with 0.32 g per serving. While you will not derive a tremendous amount of macronutrients from eating watermelon rind, this food does contain some vitamins. One serving provides 2 percent of the daily recommended intake of vitamin c and 1 percent of the vitamin b-6 your body requires every day. This makes watermelon rind good for your skin and immunity, as well as the health of your nervous system.
