Watermelon is a tropical fruit that loves the cold. Keep it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and delicious. Keep it in a cool place, especially once it has been opened. Alternatively, freeze it in cubes and use it to make juices or smoothies.

Although nowadays it is consumed all over the world, its origin dates back to Africa more than 4,000 years ago. The most common variety is the red-fleshed one, but there are also yellow-fleshed watermelons! Did you know that the world record for the largest watermelon was 158 kilograms?
