Seasonality: May-SeptOrigin: USA, Mexico A native of Africa, watermelon was presumably a source of water for thirsty traders who began to sell the seeds in cities along the Mediter ranean trade routes. With the consumption of around 3 billion pounds annually, it’s no surprise that watermelon is considered one of America’s favorite fruits. Available May thru September, yellow watermelon is a perfect picnic snack on a hot summer day, chilled and cut into wedges, bars, or cubes, and added to salads, or purée or juice for spritzers or aguas frescas. Look for a creamy white appearance where the melon sat on the ground. This indicates ripeness. Store at room temperature for 1 week; refrigerate for two weeks. Reviewed by Melissa's Nutritionist.
