“Personal” Watermelons
29-May-2007
I have to say that one of the best "inventions" in recent years has been the personal size watermelon! I love watermelon but used to rarely buy it as, even with two people in the house, eating an entire regular-size version can be a bit daunting. And more than eating it, storing it was sort of an issue – those guys take up a lot of room in the fridge!
So I was very happy when the first little ones starting showing up in the markets and I’m now a diehard fan! I can easily eat one of these on my own in just a couple days. I’ve never had a bad one, they’ve been bred to be super sweet, and even if they have seeds they are small and barely cause a crunch, if you choose not to spit ’em out!
If you haven’t seen these little guys yet take a look around the next time you are shopping. While a higher cost per pound than a normal size, they often are on sale for just a couple bucks. And the prices have come down each year as they become more widely grown. For me the convenience is well worth the extra cost.
