Did you know that Last month was National Watermelon Month? In case you missed the celebration, jump in today to celebrate National Watermelon Day with a mouthful of refreshing watermelon!


Here's how to pick your watermelon... it should be firm all over (no soft spots!), heavy for its size (in other words, juicy!), and symmetrical in shape.

A ripe watermelon should have a spot on the bottom (where it rested on the ground while growing) that is pale yellow in color rather than light green. Scratching the surface with your fingernail should reveal a greenish-white color below the topmost rind.

Eat and enjoy!
