Mini Watermelon

This mini watermelon is cultivated in a greenhouse atmosphere without pesticides, making it delicious and good for your health! This mini watermelon is delicious and juicy, with a thin skin.  It is somewhat bigger than the size of a palm. We like how easy it is to consume the little watermelon. Simply put the melon in the refrigerator for several hours. Then you cut off the stalk and the melon in half. You can then use a spoon to scoop out the red flesh from one half, using the watermelon rind as a "bowl".

STORAGE

If you’re not planning on cutting up your watermelon soon, it's best to keep it at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. If you cut your watermelon in half and want to store the another half, cover the cut side securely in cling wrap. This will prevent your watermelon from absorbing the aromas or flavours of other foods in your refrigerator. Also, storing it in the fridge for an extended period of time might impair its flavour and nutritional value.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Watermelon is best used when it is fresh and raw. Its flesh may be chopped, rolled into balls, cut into wedges, or pureed. The huge shell may be carved into a gorgeous basket and used to serve drinks or salads as a natural vessel. It may be pureed and used to flavour beverages, as well as to produce granitas, sorbets, and cold soups. Its sweet taste complements cucumber, arugula, basil, mint, citrus juice, peanuts, coconut, pecans, and strong cheeses like feta, pecorino romano, and parmesan. Though not usually eaten due to its bitter taste, the Watermelon rind is edible and may be grilled, stewed, stir-fried, or pickled. The seeds are also delicious and may be roasted, dried, and spiced. Watermelon, unlike most other melons, should be refrigerated for the optimum taste.
