My grandma always told me – "don’t eat the rind, it’ll make your belly hurt". Won’t it?

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 will do the same thing. All things in moderation. :) Here’s an article that talks more about it: http://www.watermelonrind.c…
Yes! Just peel it first. :)
It will handle it but the texture won’t be great.
