Watermelon Tip

If you're anything like me, you love cold watermelon, especially after mowing the lawn or jogging for a half hour.

Unfortunately, watermelon is most nutritious at room temperature.

No kidding.

You see, watermelon ripens and continues to build up healthy antioxidants after it's picked.

And cold temperatures put an end to that process.

So keep your watermelon on the kitchen counter until you're ready for that first great big serving. At that point, slice that melon open and dig in with both hands.

Or use a spoon if you're dining with the Queen or descendants of the Vanderbilts.

After everyone in the family has had their fill, if there's any left, store your newly cut watermelon in the refrigerator.

Whoa, I want some right now. How about you? :)
