How to Cut a Watermelon

Morsels of Life - How to Cut a Watermelon - Try these two easy ways to efficiently cut a watermelon!

Watermelon's something it's taken me a while to get the hang of. It always just seems a bit unwieldy and awkward to cut neatly in an easy to eat manner. Maybe it's just me, but I've always found the rind getting in the way with slices. However, it's one of the fruits of summer, and with the unofficial start of summer coming up, I thought I'd write a quick tutorial with two ways to easily cut a watermelon into easy to eat pieces. Plus, last summer, we found the best watermelon we'd ever had at a farm almost across the street from where we live. These watermelons certainly are not the largest I've ever seen, but they most certainly are the densest! Full of yummy juiciness!

  1. I cut watermelon into cubes to eat with a fork. I like th seedless kind the best. The tricky part is finding one that is ripe and sweet when you cut it open. It is frustrating to find one, take it home and when you cut into it there is nothing but unripe, unsweetened fruit.

  2. That's definitely the hardest part! It is hard to know for sure if you've got a ripe and sweet watermelon before cutting it open. I usually just pick the heaviest one. :)

  4. Seedless watermelon! :P

    We actually usually get the seedless watermelon since it's a lot easier to find around here. However, I think you could remove seeds the same way you would normally. :)
