How to Pick the Best Watermelon (Plus a Fun Tip for Using It!)

Ingredients

  • 1 whole ripe watermelon (choose using the tips below!)

Instructions

  1. Pick the Best Watermelon:
    • Stop thumping! Instead, look for a creamy yellow field spot (the area where the melon sat on the ground). This means it ripened naturally.
    • Pick one that feels heavy for its size.
    • Look for a uniform shape—round or oval, but without irregular bumps or dents.
    • A dull (not shiny) rind usually means it’s ripe.
  2. Serving Ideas:
    • Slice and enjoy fresh.
    • Dice and add to fruit salads.
    • Blend into fresh juice—try mixing with mint or lime!
    • For something unique, roast the seeds for a nutty snack, or dry and grind them into flour.
