Wild watermelons originated in southern Africa. The watermelon can be classed as both a fruit and a vegetable. It is a fruit because it grows from a seed, has a sweet refreshing flavor, and is loosely considered a type of melon (although it is actually a type of berry called a pepo). It is a vegetable because it is a member of the same family as the cucumber, pumpkin and squash. It is also harvested and cleared from fields like other vine growing vegetables. The watermelon is the official state vegetable of Oklahoma. By weight, a watermelon contains about 6% sugar and 92% water.
