Selection and Storage

Look for Personal watermelons that are heavy for their size, symmetrical in shape, with a dull rind. Bright green stripes or splotches on the rind indicate ripeness and flavor. The bottom end of the Personal watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot indicating where it rested on the ground while ripening.
