A watermelon is a food item that can be grown through the Farming skill at level 47 with watermelon seeds. When sliced using a knife, they heal 1 + 5% of the player's base Hitpoints level. The message You cut the watermelon into three slices. will be displayed when using the knife on the watermelon. At level 80 Hitpoints or higher, one watermelon will restore 15 hitpoints assuming all three slices are consumed.

They are used in Cooking to make summer pie, which restores hitpoints, run energy, and temporarily boosts Agility level by 5. A watermelon is also used in the creation of a scarecrow (head). Watermelons are needed to protect growing jangerberry bushes (x6) and pineapple plants (x10). When placed in a compost bin, watermelons are one of the cheapest items that will make supercompost.

Farming watermelons gives a decent amount of experience and thus is a great way for players (especially ironmen) to train the skill, although snape grass gives better rates.

Harvesting watermelons from the allotment patch on Harmony Island is a task in the hard Morytania Diary.

Watermelons are a cheaper alternative to conventional mid-range food items such as monkfish for those with at least level 80 Hitpoints. It is possible to have a near-full inventory of watermelons (leaving two slots open in which to receive the slices) and slice them when required. The drawback, however, is that a relatively lengthy animation plays when slicing a watermelon, preventing the player from any concurrent actions or movement for roughly two seconds. Consuming the entire watermelon is also done in three bites, which causes unnecessary delays during combat. This makes it more suitable to eat while training Thieving, since slicing a watermelon is one of a handful of actions that can be performed while stunned.

The table below shows how much a watermelon slice and a full watermelon heals for a given Hitpoints level.
