Wonderful Watermelon!

watermelonSummer also brings us watermelon! Made of 92% water, it is a refreshing way to stay hydrated on hot days.

The entire watermelon is edible. Grab and go with spears, wedges, cubes and halves. Toss chunks into salads and beverages.

The rind is also edible. The rind can be added to stir-fries, stewed or pickled. Use the rind as a bowl to hold a fruit salad.
