How to Choose Mini Watermelon

Choose a Mini Watermelon that feels heavy for its size. The rind should be firm and clean, without soft sunken patches, mould, leaking areas or deep cracks.

A creamy yellow field spot can be a good sign that the watermelon sat on the ground while ripening. The fruit should feel dense, not hollow or overly light.

How to Cut Mini Watermelon

Wash the outer rind before cutting. Chill the watermelon first for the best eating experience, then cut off the stem end if needed and slice the fruit in half.

For the simplest serving, use a spoon to scoop the red flesh directly from each half. You can also cut the watermelon into wedges, cubes, sticks or balls for fruit platters.

Watermelon Rind

Watermelon rind is usually not eaten fresh because it tastes mild and slightly bitter, but it can be prepared in cooked or pickled recipes.

The rind can be pickled, stir-fried, stewed or used creatively in savoury dishes. Always wash the watermelon well before cutting if you plan to use the rind.

• Watermelon rind is edible when prepared properly
• It is usually pickled, stewed or stir-fried
• The rind is not usually eaten raw like the red flesh
• Wash the outer skin before cutting
• Discard rind that is mouldy, damaged or dirty

Frozen Watermelon

Frozen watermelon is best used for blended drinks, sorbet, slushies and ice cream style desserts. Because watermelon has high water content, the texture becomes softer after freezing and thawing.

For best results, remove the rind, cut the flesh into cubes and freeze the cubes in a single layer before transferring them into a container or freezer bag.

• Cut watermelon into cubes before freezing
• Remove the rind before freezing
• Freeze cubes in a single layer first
• Use frozen watermelon for smoothies and slushies
• Use frozen watermelon for sorbet or granita
• Do not expect thawed watermelon to stay crisp

Watermelon Sorbet and Watermelon Ice Cream Ideas

Mini Watermelon is useful for simple frozen desserts because the fruit is naturally juicy and sweet. Blend frozen watermelon cubes with a little lime juice for a quick watermelon sorbet style dessert.

For a watermelon ice cream style dessert, blend frozen watermelon with yogurt, coconut milk or a small amount of cream, then freeze until scoopable. The flavour is light, refreshing and suitable for hot weather.
