About Watermelon, seedless, rind only, raw

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a large, refreshing fruit with a thick green rind and sweet, juicy flesh that is usually deep pink or red, though yellow and orange varieties exist too. A member of the gourd family and a summer favorite, it is more than 90 percent water, which makes it wonderfully hydrating and low in calories while still supplying vitamin C and the antioxidant lycopene that gives the red flesh its color.

It also contains citrulline, an amino acid concentrated in the rind. Watermelon is eaten fresh in wedges or cubes, blended into coolers and agua fresca, tossed with feta and mint for a salad, or even grilled, and the rind can be pickled. Seedless varieties are now the most common, and the seeds of seeded types can be roasted for a snack. Choose a melon that feels heavy for its size with a creamy yellow patch where it rested on the ground, a sign it ripened fully before picking.

Store whole melons at cool room temperature, and refrigerate the cut pieces covered, using them within a few days.
