☑NOTE

◾I have not sieved the juice as got almost seedless watermelon and I used a dedicated juicer blender, which does the blending work perfectly so skipped the sieving part. But it is advisable to strain the juice as very rare to get the seedless watermelon...

☑How to find out - whether watermelon is injected with harmful chemicals or artificial coloring? 

◾Place a small cube of watermelon in a glass. Add 1tbsp of white vinegar and shake up. Wait for about 30 seconds or so. If the vinegar stays clear, then there is no artificial coloring.
