Description
xOcado Watermelon. This product is sold by weight, the minimum weight of product you will receive is 2kg.
Watermelons are usually large and round or oval in shape. The rind is hard and smooth, typically a dark green colour with lighter green stripes or mottled patches. The dense and juicy flesh is a brilliant red or deep pink in colour and it has a crisp, grainy texture that releases a large amount of refreshing juice with each bite. The flesh is usually dotted with numerous edible black seeds. It has a very mild, fresh sweetness because of its high water content (over 90%), and lower sugar content compared to many other fruits.
Watermelon's refreshing nature makes it the perfect fruit for a wide range of eating occasions, especially when it's hot outside. Simply slice into wedges or cubes as a hydrating snack. It's a key ingredient in many fruit salads, providing a neutral, juicy base and can be used in sorbets, granitas, or simply blended and frozen on a stick for a healthier ice lolly. The high water content makes it perfect for juices, smoothies, and cocktails like watermelon martinis or sangria.
Watermelon can add a surprising and refreshing element to savoury dishes. It pairs beautifully with salty ingredients like feta cheese and cured ham. A classic combination is a salad of watermelon, feta, and fresh mint with a drizzle of olive oil. It can be diced into a fresh salsa with chilli, lime, red onion, and coriander, perfect for grilled fish or chicken. Watermelon can also be blended with tomatoes, cucumber, and other vegetables to create a sweet and refreshing chilled soup.
