3 Delicious Ways to Eat Watermelon You Haven't Tried Yet

Why We Love Them

A simple juicy slice of watermelon is pure summer bliss, but you can extend the joy by adding the gorgeous gourd to your lunch or dinner. Mix it with fresh meats and vegetables to make their savory notes pop, or add some heat to bring out even more of its natural sweetness.

Watermelon Fun Facts


  • Fresh Pick: Look for a firm, symmetrical watermelon that's free of bruises, cuts, or dents. A ripe one will feel heavy for its size and have a creamy yellow spot in the place where it sat on the ground— a white spot may mean it's unripe.

  • A hollowed-out watermelon rind makes a practical and pretty bowl for a smoothie or punch.

  • Try pureeing watermelon flesh in a food processor or a blender and pouring it into ice trays to freeze; the cubes add extra flavor to summer teas and cocktails.

  • Watermelon is about 92 percent water, making it a great snack for rehydrating and recovering after exercise; one small study found that the juice may even help prevent muscle soreness post-workout

    The Latest Tips On How You Can Lose Weight In 2 weeks Time With Your Diet

    L ook at the Government’s Eatwell Guide and you’ll see that they recommend a third of our diet is made up of starchy foods (pasta, rice, bread) and a third fruit and vegetables. That’s two thirds of your daily intake of food in the form of carbohydrates. Why, then, is there such a backlash against this essential macronutrient when it comes to weight loss? The answer comes down to the way the body deals with carbohydrates.In an ideal world, an individual will consume enough carbohydrate needed for their energy output, some storage and a healthy amount of fat, without being overweight. However, eat more carbohydrate than the body can use (as glucose in the blood stream) or store (as glycogen in the liver and muscle) and it gets converted into fat for long-term storage. In contrast, eat less carbs and your body turns to your pre-existing fat storage for energy. Hence why diets like The Atkins, Dukan, Keto and South Beach diet all rely on the principle of c...
