Picking A Watermelon

[Guest guest]

How To Pick A Great Watermelon

 

1. Choose a firm, symmetrical fruit that is free of

bruises, cuts and dents.

 

2. Before you buy, pick up your melon. The heavier it

feels, the better -- a good watermelon is 92% water, which

makes up most of its weight.

 

3. On the underside of the watermelon there should be a

creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and

ripened in the sun.

 

How To Cut A Watermelon:

 

Cut watermelon in half lengthwise.

Cut each half in half again lengthwise.

Cut each quarter into slices as pictured above.

 

De-Seeding A Watermelon:

 

Cut watermelon in half, then in quarters.

Cut through the flesh of the melon along the seed line

with a pairing knife.

Now, lift off the piece of the melon you just cut.

Using a fork, scrape the seeds from the piece you just

removed and the remaining flesh on the rind.
