Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I tell if a watermelon is ripe?
A: Look for a creamy yellow spot on the rind where the watermelon rested on the ground—this indicates ripeness. The melon should feel heavy for its size and have a hollow, deep sound when tapped.
Q: Can I eat watermelon seeds?
A: Yes! Watermelon seeds are edible and contain nutrients. However, many people prefer to spit them out for convenience.
Q: How long does watermelon last after cutting?
A: Cut watermelon should be refrigerated and consumed within 3-4 days for the best taste and safety.
Q: Is it better to buy seedless or seeded watermelons?
A: Both types are delicious, but seedless watermelons are convenient if you want hassle-free snacking. Seeded watermelons sometimes have a richer flavor.
