Season

July to September.

Selection

Choose melons with a well-rounded shape and smooth surface. The underside should be creamy yellow. The flesh should be deep red with mature, dark seeds. Also look for yellow-fleshed and seedless melons.

Preperation

Melons should be washed with soap and water before cutting. The flavor of a watermelon is best when served cold and raw.

Storage

Cut melon should be stored in the refrigerator and covered with plastic for two to three days. Uncut melon will keep in a cool place for up to two weeks.
