Follow these tips to choose the best one:
🔸 Look for a creamy yellow spot – This means it ripened naturally in the sun.
🔸 Pick a heavy watermelon – More weight = more juice.
🔸 Check the rind – It should be firm, smooth, and free of dents.
🔸 Tap it – A deep, hollow sound means it’s ripe.
🔸 Examine the stripes – Even, well-defined stripes indicate good quality.
🧊 How to Store Watermelon for Maximum Freshness
Whole watermelon:
➡️ Keep in a cool, shaded place (or fridge if storing longer).
Cut watermelon:
➡️ Wrap tightly in plastic or store in an airtight container.
➡️ Refrigerate and eat within 3–5 days.
🍉 Stay Safe & Enjoy!
Watermelon is a powerhouse of nutrients—vitamin C, lycopene, and potassium—great for hydration, digestion, and heart health. But if you spot odd cracks, foul smells, or a spoiled texture, toss it out. Your health comes first!
Always choose wisely, store properly, and enjoy this summer treat safely! 🌞🍉
