Preparation Tips

To prepare watermelon, first wash the outside thoroughly. Cut the melon in half, then into quarters or smaller wedges. You can cut the flesh away from the rind and cube it, or slice it into triangular wedges for easy eating. For the best flavor, choose a watermelon that feels heavy for its size and has a yellow spot where it sat on the ground. Store uncut watermelon at room temperature for up to a week, and cut watermelon in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
