Choose your watermelon

To obtain a very sweet watermelon, it must be dense, that is to say heavy in relation to its volume, and make a dull noise when struck.

If you find a yellow mark on one side of the watermelon, that’s a good sign! This indicates that the fruit grew outdoors and in the sun, so it will have a better chance of being tasty.

The watermelon keeps very well at room temperature when it is whole, but only a few days in the fridge once cut.

What about seedless watermelons?

Today there are almost seedless varieties of watermelons that are easier to eat. But, although practical, they are often less tasty…

Moreover, they are obtained by hybridization of species and through human-controlled pollination: practices that tend to reduce agricultural biodiversity.

The perfect chords

The green notes of watermelon go well with herbaceous flavors: green tea, mint, rosemary, cucumber, coriander leaves…

To awaken its sweet flavor, combine it with acidic ingredients such as lime or red fruits, or salty ones such as feta or oysters.
