TIPS FOR SELECTING THE PERFECT WATERMELON
- Watermelon should sound hollow when you knock.
- Watermelon should be heavy for its size.
- Watermelons develop a splotch where they rest on the ground. When this splotch is creamy yellow, it’s ripe.
How Is A Watermelon Punch Made?
- Slice the watermelon and remove the seeds and rind
- Place the melon pieces in a blender along with a few mint leaves
- Add freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Blend until it’s smooth and no chunks remain.
BENEFITS OF WATERMELON
Watermelon is very healthy and one of the most hydrating foods. It has up to 92% moisture content and is one of the best thirst quenchers.
- Good source of vitamins A and C
- Improve heart health
- Great for skin and hair
- Helps to lower the inflammation
