Watermelon

“When one has tasted it, he knows what angels eat.” Mark Twain had a colorful way of making a point, says Arlene Arnold, food marketing agent for Michigan State. If Mark Twain was right the angels surely have a lot of company right now, because millions of Americans are eating tons and tons of luscious watermelons. In this season of the year, no barbecue is complete without a cool, juicy, red-meated watermelon to wind up the feast. And a refrigerator without at least a piece of watermelon in it is positively empty. If you haven’t been enjoying the cooling good taste of watermelon all summer long, for goodness sake, don’t put it off any longer. Piles and piles of those wonderful fruits are waiting for you on roadside stands, produce markets, supermarkets — practically everywhere you turn Stop and pick one up. Prices are super-reasonable right now. All right, you’ve decided to buy one. How do you decide which one to buy? You want one that’s ripe, not over-ripe The flesh should be bright red and crisp, with no white streaks m it The rind should be fairly thin and the seeds (of most varieties! should be dark brown or black. If you buy a half or a quarter of a melon, you'll have no problem All you have to do is to look It’s in buying the whole ones thht most people feel inadequate. You could cut out a “plug” and see what the melon looks like inside, but most sellers won’t do it because a “plugged" melon soon spoils if it is not eaten right away. There are

those people who say they can tell if a melon is ripe by thumping it. Trouble is, a ripe melon and an over-ripe melon both sound about the same when “thumped." What you want is a melon that is firm all over and symetrical. The skin should look fresh and attractive and there should be a waxy “bloom” over the surface of the rind which gives the melon a velvety look. The bottom of the melon (the part that rested on the ground. as it grew) should be neither white nor green, but creamy to yellowish in color When you buy your melon, remember that the larger ones have more meat, proportionally, than do the smaller ones Remember, too. that watermelons are at their best when thoroughly cool, and it takes up to 12 hours to cool a large melon through. Cool, not icy cold, is preferred Since anyone can see that a watermelon is mostly water, it comes as a surprise to many that watermelon is a very nutritious food. A moderate sized piece of watermelon will give you half the vitamin A you need for the day and about half the vitamin C. along with other vitamins and minerals such as iron and calcium — and all at a cost of about 110 calories, so dieters can indulge themselves happily. If you have leftovers from your watermelon feast, be sure to cover cut surfaces with waxed paper or film or, better yet. put the rest of the melon into a plastic bag before returning it to the refrigerator Melon flavors tend to migrate. Delicious as it is in the fruit, the flavor of watermelon does not add anything to the taste of milk And. to make your watermelon feast last into the winter, make a batch of watermelon rind pickles or preserves from the part you’d otherwise throw away.
