How to Select

Look for watermelons that are firm, symmetrical and fresh – looking with an attractive waxy bloom.

 

How to Use

Use watermelons in fruit salads or cut into slices.

 

Special Tip

Avoid watermelons that are very hard, white or very pale green in color on the underside, indicating immaturity. An immature watermelon will be slightly acidic; short storage may diminish acidity.

 

How to Store

Once picked, watermelon will not ripen. Watermelons can be kept for short periods at room temperature -- otherwise refrigerate.
