Watermelon Candy: A Sweet Summertime Favorite!

There are very few flavors that perfectly encapsulate the essence of summer, but watermelon is certainly one of them! As such, National Watermelon Day is coming up on August 3rd, so we thought we’d help you celebrate by showing off some amazing watermelon candy for your summertime enjoyment. Whether you’re sizzling in the hot sun at the beach, or just enjoying the company at a neighborhood BBQ, watermelon is the perfect flavor to go along with your summertime fun!

As we get ready to explore some of the best watermelon flavored candies available today, let’s look at some of the reasons that watermelon has become synonymous with a cool, refreshing treat for a hot summer’s day!

Watermelon Health Benefits

Nothing quite beats the refreshment of a cool slice of watermelon on a scorching hot summer day. Not only is it incredibly thirst-quenching, but watermelon is also packed with vitamins and minerals, plus antioxidants and other beneficial phytonutrients that are great for your health! Eating watermelon will help you stay hydrated, can help lower your blood pressure, prevent heart disease, protect you against sun exposure, and clear your body of cancer-causing free radicals.

Watermelon is also a great source of lycopene, which gives the watermelon fruit its distinctive cherry red color. Watermelon contains more of this nutrient than any other fruit or vegetable. Lycopene is known for its antioxidant properties, which help fight inflammation and protect your cells from damage. Additionally, the high water content in watermelon helps you stay hydrated and aids in digestion, making it the perfect choice for these hot summer days.

The Joy of Watermelon Candy

Watermelon candy captures all the delightful flavors of this beloved fruit, offering a sweet escape in every bite. Whether you enjoy gummy candy, hard candies, bubble gum, cotton candy, or craft sodas, the market is brimming with a plethora of options that bring the juicy, refreshing taste of watermelon into a convenient, portable form.

In the confectionery world, watermelon-flavored candies have carved out an impressive niche market of their own. Watermelon flavor also seemed to be a major trend at this year’s Sweets & Snacks Expo, as they offer a burst of summery sweetness that can be enjoyed all year long. No matter what route you choose, watermelon candy provides a fun and nostalgic treat that transports you straight into the sunny days of summer!
