Rind gives you terrible stomach aches if you eat it. So I have heard and so I experienced.
I didn’t "eat too much." I ate a few bites of watermellon very close to the rind and paid for it with a terrible stomach ache. I don’t think it is an old wives’ tale, but a warning based on many people’s experience. Old wives were not idiots!
It’s said to be an old wives’ tale. If you eat too much of it, it can make your stomach hurt. But eating too many apples can do the same thing. All things in moderation. :) Here’s an article that talks more about it: http://www.watermelonrind.c…
Do you use the watermelon rind in the smoothie?
