Melon or Watermelon?
Which is your favorite to win this world cup? Melon or watermelon?
I prefer watermelon because it’s the seasonal fruit and we can find it at a good price, and that helps us save a little since it is also large and they don’t sell it by weight but by piece.
Here we give you some recommendations to choose a good watermelon with excellent flavor.
The first is the color. Many times we think that the watermelon is not ready if the peel is brownish, that is to say with yellow tints. On the contrary, that is one of the signs that tell you that the fruit is ready to eat.
The second recommendation is the sound, so try to give it a pat in the center and if the sound is hollow, it means that it is juicy enough.
Watermelon can be consumed in slices, but you can also chop it and accompany it with salt and lime; or if you prefer, you can make ice lollipops or watermelon water or ice cubes of watermelon water for an infusion of water with a watermelon flavor. Besides, you can prepare a watermelon vinaigrette to accompany your salads.
Remember that watermelon is a fruit that refreshes and part of the nutrients it contains are: vitamin A, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. So we invite you to make it your favorite in this season of the soccer World Cup.
