Notes
TIPS FOR CHOOSING & STORING WATERMELON

Pick: Watermelon should feel heavy for its size and have a hollow sound when tapped One indicator of a good watermelon is a pale yellow belly which indicates it has ripened in the field.

Store: Large cuts of watermelon can be wrapped with plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week Cubed watermelon should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months Freeze cubed watermelon in a single layer on a baking sheet before adding to an airtight container.
