How To Cut Watermelon

Years ago, I would be hesitant to buy a whole watermelon because I didn’t know how to cut it properly, so I would either look for it pre-cut or avoid it altogether. Not anymore!

The advantages of knowing Watermelon Cutting Techniques

Although pre-cut watermelon is widely accessible in many supermarket stores these days, buying one whole and chopping it yourself is more beneficial.

For starters, since watermelon begins to soften and release juice once diced, it’s best to do it yourself so that it will be fresher and have a nicer texture.

You may also cut it to any size and shape you choose. Wedges? Cubes? Balls? Fun Shapes? Just name it.

How To Choose a Good Watermelon?

When looking for the perfect watermelon, look for a large yellow spot that signals it is ripe. If at all possible, choose a watermelon that is not misshaped or bruised.

Although some people believe that tapping a watermelon to see whether it is ripe is a good way to tell if it is, this is FALSE, and you should not do so.

Since, watermelon is linked to cucumbers, pumpkins, and squash, it is considered a vegetable.
