Watermelon

I can't believe I didn't post about watermelon!  This is my staple fruit...Oh, such yummy goodness!!!  Very water dense & I always eat til I am almost bloated.  This fruit will digest very easily & fills you full of fiber & water. 

Also, the best way to pick a watermelon is to make sure it has a deep green waxy coat, but also a big fat yellow spot on it's belly.  Why?  Unlike some fruits, watermelon doesn't continue to ripen once it's plucked.  So with the dark green & the yellow under belly means it has ripened & has been laying on its belly waiting to be picked :)  I never knew that, but if you follow this guideline, you're sure to get a nice, ripe & sweet watermelon!

Peace!
