Watermelon
Selection & Storage
Watermelons should be heavy for their size with a rind that is smooth and
neither too shiny nor too dull. Additionally the rind should be mostly green
but the underside (that was touching the ground) should be a creamy to
yellow colour. Avoid unripe fruit characterised by a light green/white rind,
or fruit with soft, bruised or mould spots on the rind. Ripe watermelon
should sound hollow when you knock on the rind.
Whole watermelons can be stored at room temperature, but once they
have been cut they should be wrapped in plastic, refrigerated and eaten
within a few days.
