Country of origin
Description
Watermelons can weigh 15 kg or more. Their flesh contains even more water than that of cantaloupe – up to 95%. In the warm season, the sweet watermelon is an ideal thirst quencher.
Origin
Today, watermelons are grown worldwide: in Southern Europe, North Africa, the south of Russia, the USA, South America, Japan, China, i.e. in the tropics and subtropics of the whole world. The most important imports come from Spain, Italy, Hungary, Greece from May to the end of September, and from Panama and Costa Rica in the off-season.
Tips
Covered with cling film, the cut surfaces of the cut watermelon can be kept fresh in the refrigerator for several days.
Preparation
Watermelons are particularly suitable for eating raw; to do this, divide the fruit into segments and remove the inedible seeds. In the meantime, there are also low-seed varieties that expand the range. Also use for fruit salads, cold bowls, sorbets, desserts or refreshing fruit bowls, including non-alcoholic ones.
