How to Buy easy healthy gluten free, sans gluten

When choosing a whole watermelon, look for one that is heavy for its size with a rind that is relatively smooth and that is neither overly shiny nor overly dull. In addition, one side of the melon should have an area that is distinct in color from the rest of the rind, displaying a yellowish or creamy tone. This is the underbelly, the place that was resting on the ground during ripening, and if the fruit does not have this marking, it may have been harvested prematurely, which will negatively affect its taste, texture and juiciness.

How to Store

If the watermelon is whole you can leave it out on the counter-top but once you cut into it store it in the refrigerator.  It will usually last 3-5 days if it’s kept cold.

Favorite Tip

Wash the watermelon before cutting it!  If you want to dive deeper into watermelon, check out this website National Watermelon Promotion Board.
