Watermelon rind contains a compound known as citrulline, according to a study published in the June 2005 issue of the "Journal of Chromatography." Citrulline might serve up a range of medicinal benefits. Evidence in the March 2011 edition of the "Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture" suggests that the citrulline in watermelon rinds gives it antioxidant effects that protect you from free-radical damage. Additionally, citrulline converts to arginine, an amino acid vital to the heart, circulatory system and immune system, says researchers from Texas A&M's Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center. These researchers speculate that watermelon rind might relax blood vessels and have a role in treating erectile dysfunction.
