How to Pick a Watermelon

Choose a watermelon that feels heavy for its size. A heavy watermelon usually suggests good juice content. The rind should be firm and clean, without soft collapsed patches, mould, wet cracks or leaking areas.

A creamy yellow field spot can be a useful sign that the watermelon rested on the ground while ripening. The surface should look mature rather than overly shiny, and the fruit should feel dense in the hands.

• Choose a watermelon that feels heavy for its size
• Look for a creamy yellow field spot
• Choose a firm rind without soft patches
• Avoid mould, leaks, wet cracks or deep damage
• A dense, heavy feel is usually better than a very light one
• Carton box, brand label and packaging may vary by batch

How to Choose a Sweet Watermelon

Sweetness can vary by variety, weather, harvest timing and batch. For a better chance of a sweet watermelon, choose one with good weight, a mature-looking rind and a creamy yellow field spot.

Deep red flesh often looks sweeter and more appealing, but colour alone is not the only sign of sweetness. Chilling the watermelon before serving also makes the flavour feel more refreshing.

How to Cut Red Watermelon

Wash the watermelon rind before cutting. Use a stable chopping board and a sharp knife. Cut the watermelon in half, then into quarters, wedges, slices, cubes or sticks depending on serving style.

For cut fruits delivery or fruit platters, watermelon is usually served as cubes, slices or wedges. Keep cut fruit chilled and covered until serving.

Watermelon and Salt

Watermelon and salt is a simple serving style where a tiny pinch of salt is added to chilled watermelon. The salt can make the sweetness feel brighter and the fruit taste more refreshing.

Use only a small amount. Those limiting sodium or managing medical conditions should skip salt or follow their healthcare provider’s advice.

Watermelon Juice

Watermelon juice is refreshing, naturally sweet and easy to make. Blend chilled watermelon flesh, then strain if a smoother drink is preferred.

It can be served plain, over ice, with lime juice, with mint, or mixed into fruit drinks. Because watermelon is naturally high in water, no extra water is usually needed.

• Plain watermelon juice
• Watermelon lime juice
• Watermelon mint cooler
• Watermelon smoothie
• Watermelon sports drink style refreshment
• Watermelon mocktail

Watermelon Sorbet

Watermelon sorbet is a simple frozen dessert idea. Cut the flesh into cubes, freeze until solid, then blend with a little lime juice for a refreshing sorbet-style treat.

Frozen watermelon becomes softer after thawing, so it is best used for sorbet, granita, smoothies or slushies rather than eaten as crisp fresh fruit.

• Watermelon sorbet with lime juice
• Watermelon granita
• Frozen watermelon cubes
• Watermelon slushie
• Watermelon popsicles
• Watermelon smoothie bowl

Watermelon Seeds

• Seed amount varies by batch
• Some watermelon may be seedless
• White immature seeds are common
• Black seeds are usually removed when eating fresh
• Do not give seeds to young children without supervision

Watermelon Rind

Watermelon rind is usually not eaten raw because it is firm and mild, but it can be used in cooked or pickled recipes. The rind may be pickled, stewed or stir-fried after proper washing and preparation.

Use only clean, fresh rind and avoid damaged, mouldy or dirty sections.

• Watermelon rind can be edible when prepared properly
• Common uses include pickles, stew and stir-fry
• Wash the rind before cutting
• Do not use mouldy or damaged rind
