Fun fact! The yellow spot is called the “field spot,” the part of the melon that doesn’t get any sun. And since watermelons only get sweeter / mature while they’re on the vine , the bigger and deeper the yellow color , the more time it sat out in the field to get super sweet! ( takes about 80-90 ish days to mature. ) Also, on the ends of the watermelon ( where the vines would have been) , they should be brown -ish , not green. If they’re green , that means they were picked too early and not mature yet. Fun facts from a plant/ botany nerd! 😊👨🏻🔬🤓🍉🌱
@@tammysummerfield183 No problem! I’m glad it was helpful! No , I don’t unfortunately. I took botany in college and happen to know a lot about this fruit ( and cantaloupe) because I’ve had family who’ve helped harvest them in summers. So i just wanted to share some fun facts about finding a nice sweet one ! 😁🍉🍈
¡Gracias, Elias! Nothing like facts to help dispel the lore. Makes complete sense regarding the yellow spot. How about tapping or thumping the melon? I try to listen for tension in the skin-if that makes any sense. My reasoning is that when it it very ripe it will be ready to split open as soon as you take a knife to it. But that’s just my idea-¿qué dice el maestro?
@@SuperManning11 Muchas gracias! That is also a very common method to test for sweetness and there is some science behind it. Basically, a sweet/ripe watermelon when thumped will sound dull and dampened ( almost bass like ) while an unripe watermelon will have a, "tighter, metallic sound" ( Zeng et. al., 2014). The reason the ripe watermelons sound dull is because they've had more time to mature and collect water and increase their sugar content>> thus dampening the sound. Sugar (along with other features of the melon) can also affect the transmission of sound waves and how we hear them, making them sound dull or sharp pitched. Overall, you can thump them as a way to tell if they're sweet. But from studies I've reading, it often takes 1) lots of practice overtime with consistent size of watermelons 2) use it with other visual methods to determine ripeness. I would say, thump them if you've been doing this for a while and can the sound difference between ripe/ unripe. But also try some of the visual features i mentioned earlier to help be extra sure they're sweet! I hope this helps!Que tenga un buen día!
@tammysummerfield183 only wild red meat. That's it. Nothing else but water. Unless you grow your own veggies do not eat them. Pork and chicken rarely if you desire but usually red meat. Natural grazing beef, deer, elk, etc. It's got everything a healthy average person needs. Your hunger will also disappear and the satisfaction after you eat is like nothing you've felt. You have to give it 2 weeks because your body will have to adjust. There are exceptions like people with certain conditions that need other things or can't eat red meat for whatever reason, but it will cure most people of their ailments as well as give you everything you need. People don't believe me, but then those people never get to be mind blown. Their loss
My favorite! And for festive summertime cocktail parties, I steep fresh ginger and bruised mint leaves in the juice with key lime slices to give it an edge as it chills in the fridge 8 hours, then strain and serve in martini glasses with ice cold vodka for an optional kick and the glass rimmed with Tajín mixed with a little sugar. Garnish with a watermelon wedge and a lime wheel positioned by a frilly toothpick, and it will be the hit of the cocktail party on the deck or the patio. For health reasons, stay hydrated, sisters !
I made this today. So good! I have my wisdom teeth removed so I haven’t been able to really chew, this was a perfect replacement to get my watermelon fill👍🏽
My Son and I Love your Channel he is Alaska Native and his Sister are Mexican we both love Mexican food he wants to learn so much his sisters culture and teach them
You can make watermelon pickles out of the rinds too! Sooooo good! The 1st time a coworker said she made some watermelon pickles and I started laughing because I thought she was joking. Next day she came to work with a jar. They make them out of strips of the rind no bigger than the size of a pickle. OMG!! They were so good. She said the hardest part of making them is getting enough people to eat the sweet part of the watermelon. Just a thought in case you want to use the whole fruit.

I literally was about to search for a watermelon drink recipe for my little ones and look what was on my home page! Yay! Gracias Amigas! Update: I just ordered my glass pitcher and glass juicing bottles. I can’t wait to make jugos and aguas frescas. And BTW: I LOVE the white part of the watermelon. It’s my favorite part. Growing up we only got one slice of watermelon because there were so many of us including all the primos, primas, vecinos. So I ate everything but the peel. Lol! It’s how our parents and grandparents kept us outside.... and how we entertained ourselves ...... seed spitting contest. I appreciate seedless watermelons now, but this summer I will teach my boys how to spit out watermelon seeds and see who spits the furthest. (For those that are thinking we are going to be “spitting” around others..... no worries, it will be in the comfort of our own home in our backyard). 😁
Comment 🚀🚀🚀 thanks for the recipe … was looking for a smoothie recipe for my 3yr old daughter but stumbled on This video by accident.. Thanks once again
🥰 Loved! Loved this video!! And I get so excited to see the Agua Frescas. I made a cucumber and watermelon (combined) Fresca. But I didn’t add the ice 🤦🏻♀️ it’s for work tomorrow so I hope it still tastes good. 😁 Thank you both y’all are so awesome! 💕 God Bless you both!
The green and white parts are most nutritious. I juice them, then mix the juice with the blended inner parts(flesh), then add other red fruits. Taste really good. I keep them in the freezer in 2l bottles. I take one bottle out each night into the fridge to thaw. Delicious drink when in the summer when its hot.
Wow!!!! That is a very red beautiful watermelon! I'm in Michigan, I can't even find one like that in late summer. Our grocery store usually uses a farm in Georgia, (I always check), and you would think that the sun would be hot enough, "nope". I'm very jelly!!!😀😋
I love your recipes. I have made several things from your UA-cam channel and man can I say… they are delicious!! I really miss your long videos where you would just sit a talk for a bit while you would cook! Bendiciones para toda la familia.
just watched your original video on this,,haha... just went and grabbed a watermelon..haha changing my ways starts today ! cheers ! i dig your nre kitchen !!
This is a great idea!💡 It's just the two of us now and my husband does not like watermelon 🙄 So I've been forced to eat entire watermelon myself every time I bought it haha. Now I think I can freeze a portion of it and make juice out of the Frozen stuff too. Thank you!😋
Thank you so much Stephanie and cloud. I love you both ❤️😘. I love those pitchers. I made the b. Tacos. The family love them. I think that the chili oil was a hit.
hola amiga its been a long time i pray your doing well much blessing for you and your familia and your right about wanting cooking stuff for my bday lol !!!
Wonderful! Just bought a watermelon last night! I know exactly that feeling you mentioned of how it feels to drink watermelon 🍉 juice & I agree 100%! Love y’all! ♥️

Oh yeah super sugary drinks are great for weight loss.
@@Manhandle730 Natural sugars are fine. Agua fresca has tons of water. Some people do add white sugar to theirs but it's still delicious without.

I once had a watermelon margarita and I haven’t been able to find it again and now I know how to make the watermelon juice. Thanks.
A classic summer drink, nice and refreshing! I made some last week, also agua de fresa, and also pina con papaya.

Juiced some watermelon in my Nama J2 this morning and it was divine!
Didn’t even know there was a difference between watermelon juice and watermelon agua Fresca! Thank you for mentioning that.
Have a blessed day!
