ABSTRACT:
Basically, not many people know about watermelon waste and its benefits. People generally only consume the flesh of the watermelon and throw away waste such as the watermelon rind, which apparently contains many ingredients and compounds that function in medicine. In this review article, we will thoroughly review the components and benefits in the pharmaceutical and medical fields related to watermelon waste. There are several benefits explained in this review article, for example, watermelon rind, which has antidiabetic benefits with the various ingredients it contains.
