  • The flat spot is an excellent idea. The GF and I went shopping and bought a whole watermelon. She knew how to do it but took off this morning without cutting it. I'm stuck with it for about a week and needed instruction. This vid was a big help. Thanks for taking the trouble to make it.

  • Watermelon rind is rich in nutrients, but still, most people throw it in the garbage without thinking. It is rich in antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and some active ingredients. These peels are low in calories, but they are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium, and zinc.

  • Make a flat spot on any fruit or vegetable where stability is needed: cutting shoestring potatoes, wedging or slicing an onion, and especially hard squashes! But be really careful with these. Consider investing in a cleaver, or long scalloped cheese or bread knife to facilitate safe entry into these very hard and large gourds/squash/berries/modified berries. (All terms are correct for these botanical berries. BTW, all melons are also berries.)
