Juicing watermelon

Does anyone juice watermelon?

If so, do you only juice organic watermelons?

I know that they are low on the list of pesticide foods.

I did once or twice. IMHO its not worth it because watermelons are alrady so full of water and if you juice it its the same thing except that you drink it instead of eating it and it tastes less intense.

EDIT: I forgot to mention just for information that I use a Breville juicer.

i like to juice watermelon because i like the way the fruit and rind all juiced up together tastes!

i also like to make watermelon-mint "smoothies" in the blender (no rind)

I don't think I have ever seen organic watermelon in my area sad smiley - I just get regular. Juicing it or making a smoothie w/ berries and crushed ice are my faves.

I buy the non-organic watermelon. The only place I know that has organic watermelon is quite far away (and it's 3 times as expensive!).

I love juicing watermelon, but I agree, it is kind of a waste of time considering the waste of electricity and water you use to clean the juicer, when the flesh is so light and juicy anyway.

Last time me and my boyfriend were juicing watermelon, I kept forgetting to put the stopper in the top of the blender, and every few seconds, it'd spit these watermelon seeds flying up in the air grinning smiley

Eating from the greeny part of a watermelon tastes like cucumber to me- which can only be a good thing!

non-organic. i like to juice them occasionally, it's fun. i cut off the green and leave the white and the seeds too of course. i wouldn't blend or juice melon with anything else as it's bad food combining and gives me gas but why do that anyhow? watermelon is amazing all on it's own.

I tried juicing watermelon last week -- somehow I like it better whole, it tasted off to me when I juiced it. I have a jack lelane juicer! It was free(intercepted it on it's way to the salvation army), and I love to use it, even though it's not as fancy as some! smiling smiley

I have a greenstar juicer. I have been wondering about geting the whole nutrition by eating or juicing the rind. I have eaten the seeds for a long time. I have not tried to juice the melon yet.
