FAQs

❓ Can a watermelon ripen after picking?
No—watermelons stop ripening once harvested, so choose a ripe one.

❓ How do I know if it’s overripe?
A mushy feel, overly sweet smell, or a dull sound when tapped are signs.

❓ Seedless vs. seeded—which is better?
It’s personal preference! Seedless is easier to eat, but some swear seeded tastes better.
