How to clean watermelon

Obviously before cutting the watermelon into cubes to mix it with other ingredients you will have to deprive it of all the seeds because it is not nice to find them on the plate between a forkful and the other. So first wash the watermelon well to remove all the soil that can be deposited outside. Then slice it or dig it inside with a tool to make small balls. Once you have obtained cubes or watermelon spheres, remove the seeds very patiently.

The seeds are not thrown away

Do you know that watermelon seeds can become a delicious snack?
Just toast them in the oven for 25 minutes at 180 ° with oil and salt. They are excellent for nibbling.

How to choose watermelon

A heavy watermelon is a ripe watermelon because it contains a lot of water. To choose the best one, take two watermelons of the same size and weigh them. The heaviest is the best.
Another selection criterion is the appearance of the fruit which must be uniform. The peel must not have irregularities or dents. The base, i.e. the one that has been laid on the ground, must have a dark color. If it is white, it means that the watermelon is not ripe.
Another way to understand if the fruit is good is to hear the sound, but only the real experts can do it. Just knock on the peel and listen. His must be deaf and full.
However, if you really can't choose, buy an already cut watermelon and everything will be easier. Just look at the color of the pulp which must be bright red with very dark seeds and then check the consistency. that doesn't have to be floury.
