Is the concept of 'dye injected' watermelon just a scaremonger to mislead us? Agriculturist clears doubts

<h2>The hullabaloo about chemical or dye injected watermelon has been negated by Agriculturist and food processing expert, Krish Ashok, says it's fake and staged.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Social media is filled with content creators and food experts talking about &lsquo;dye injected&rsquo; watermelon being sold in markets, health risks they cause and the tricks to distinguish these watermelons from the natural ones.</p>
<h3><strong>Agriculturist clears doubts about 'dye injected watermelons'</strong></h3>
<p>However, amid all the noise, Agriculturist and food processing expert, Krish Ashok shared a video clearing our doubts. &nbsp;<br>According to Singh the videos of stuff being injected into watermelons are &lsquo;STAGED AND FAKE&rsquo;.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>In his video Ashok explained that injecting dye or food colouring agent is impractical and every year these incidents which hit the headlines are mostly myths and not a common practice. &nbsp;<br>He explained that injecting chemicals into watermelon will only affect that area, not the whole fruit. Further he added injections leave behind visible holes and will cause the fruit to rot rapidly in the Indian summer.</p>
<p>He shared in his post caption -</p>
<p><em>Thanks to social media, all of us now have the memory of goldfishes on a starvation diet. I have been seeing dramatic scaremongering stories about colour injected watermelons for almost a DECADE and for some reason, it never turns out to be the public health crisis those stories always make it out to be. So what gives?</em></p>
<p><em>So I&rsquo;m going to take a controversial stand and call bullshit on this one. Every year, this is just clickbait ripe for the plucking and that&rsquo;s all there is to it. It is NOT actually an issue at all. Injecting melons with dye is, for starters, completely stupid and impractical. But, the story works every year simply because we find it easy to believe that poor people are out to poison us all.</em></p>
<p><em>And by the way - all those actual videos of stuff being injected - THEY ARE STAGED AND FAKE</em></p>

Love watermelon? Keep these things in mid when eating your fav fruit to avoid adverse effects 

<h2>Moderation is key when it comes to consuming any food, including watermelon. Enjoying it as part of a balanced diet alongside a variety of other fruits is important to avoid any health issues.</h2>

<p>Eating watermelon in the summer offers several benefits. Watermelon has a high water content, typically around 90%, which makes it an excellent choice for staying hydrated in the heat. However, overeating watermelon can lead to digestive problems and other health issues depending on the amount consumed or the quality of the watermelon.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Keep these things in mind when eating watermelon</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>To avoid such a situation, stick to moderate amount. Generally, a bowlful of cut pieces are enough to have at a time.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Eat watermelon slowly and chew it thoroughly. This helps your digestive system break down the fruit more effectively and reduces the likelihood of bloating or gas.</li>
<li>Avoid keeping watermelon in the fridge and try to consume it when fresh.</li>
<li>A stale watermelon can cause stomach infection.</li>
<li>Avoid eating watermelon before bedtime as that can increase the risk of acid reflux or indigestion.</li>
<li>Opt for ripe watermelon and also make sure to always pick naturally ripened watermelon.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>5 Adverse effects of watermelon if over eaten&nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Digestive Discomfort: </strong>Watermelon is high in fiber and water content, which can promote healthy digestion in moderate amounts. However, consuming excessive amounts of watermelon can lead to digestive discomfort, including bloating, gas, and diarrhea, especially if your body isn't used to large amounts of fiber or fructose.</p>
<p><strong>Hydration Imbalance:</strong> While watermelon is hydrating due to its high water content, consuming too much of it in a short period could potentially disrupt your body's electrolyte balance. This imbalance might lead to symptoms like water retention or even dehydration if not enough electrolytes are replenished.</p>
<p><strong>Blood Sugar Spikes:</strong> Watermelon contains natural sugars, including fructose. Overeating watermelon can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels, especially in individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Weight Gain: </strong>Consuming excessive amounts of watermelon without considering your overall calorie intake could contribute to weight gain over time, especially if it leads to consuming more calories than your body needs.</p>
<p><strong>Nutrient Imbalance: </strong>While watermelon is a good source of vitamins A and C, overeating it to the exclusion of other foods may lead to an imbalance in your overall nutrient intake.&nbsp;</p>

Love watermelons? Here's how you can identify chemically-injected melon 

<h2>Summer is the ideal season to indulge in fresh watermelons. A video shared by FSSAI to identify whether a watermelon is chemically injected or not. Watch</h2>

<p>Summer is the ideal season to indulge in the refreshing sweetness of watermelons. With their juicy flesh and vibrant hues, watermelons are a quintessential treat during the hot months. Whether sliced into wedges for a backyard barbecue or blended into a refreshing drink, the crisp and hydrating nature of watermelons makes them a beloved choice for cooling off on scorching summer days.</p>
<p>Due to high demand of watermelons in summer, sellers use Erythrosine, the most toxic dye used for artificially colour food items, leading to public health concerns.</p>
<h3><strong>How to identify chemical-injected watermelons</strong></h3>
<p>The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has released an informative video demonstrating the process of identifying adulterants in watermelons. The video depicts cutting a watermelon in half and gently pressing a cotton ball or tissue against the pulp. If the cotton ball shows red coloration, it indicates the presence of chemical dye, suggesting potential adulteration in the fruit.</p>
<h3><strong>Benefits of watermelon:&nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Hydration: </strong>With its high water content (approximately 92%), watermelon helps keep you hydrated, especially during hot summer days.</p>
<p><strong>Nutrient-rich: </strong>Watermelon is rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and magnesium.<strong><br>Antioxidant properties: </strong>Watermelon contains antioxidants such as lycopene, which may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.</p>
<p><strong>Heart health:</strong> The presence of lycopene, citrulline, and other beneficial compounds in watermelon may contribute to heart health by reducing blood pressure and improving circulation.</p>
<p><strong>Weight management: </strong>Despite its sweet taste, watermelon is low in calories and fat, making it a satisfying and guilt-free snack option for those watching their weight.</p>
<p><strong>Digestive health: </strong>The fibre content in watermelon can support healthy digestion and prevent constipation.</p>

Stay hydrated with juicy watermelons this summer! Keep them at room temperature for maximum nutrients and to avoid bacteria. 

Do you know you should never store watermelon in fridge? Here's why 

<h2>Stay hydrated with juicy watermelons this summer! Keep them at room temperature for maximum nutrients and to avoid bacteria.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Summer is here, and it's time to indulge in juicy watermelons to keep our bodies hydrated during the hot season. But do you know that you should keep watermelons at room temperature rather than in your fridge?</p>
<p>Researchers at the USDA's South Central Agricultural Research Laboratory in Lane, Oklahoma, conducted a 14-day study on various popular watermelon varieties. They tested storage conditions at temperatures of 70, 55, and 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Their findings revealed that watermelons stored at 70 degrees Fahrenheit retained significantly more nutrients compared to freshly picked ones or those kept in refrigerators.</p>
<p>They explain that watermelon continues to produce some nutrients even after being picked up. Refrigerating the fruit slows down or stops the whole process. Moreover, a cut watermelon should never be placed inside the fridge as it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.</p>
<h3><strong>Benefits of eating watermelon&nbsp;</strong></h3>
