Watermelons

Take a Bite Out of Summer

Every year, our watermelon fields get busy across Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Illinois. Serving up sweet, seeded and seedless watermelons to our retailers, we want to make sure every bite is the sweetest.

From giant picnic-sized melons to the smaller personal-sized varieties, we've got a great lineup of watermelons for any occasion.

Picking the perfect melon

Pick the Perfect Melon

01.
Give it a lift

Lift up a firm and symmetrical melon that is free of bruises, cuts, and dents. Since about 92% of the melon's weight is water, it should feel heavy for it's size.

When compared to a melon of the same size, the heavier one will be more ripe. Avoid melons that are lighter than those that are smaller, that means the melon is old and has started to lose moisture

02.
give it a look

Look for the "field spot" on the belly of the melon. The area should be yellow with vein-like webbing that indicates the melon is sweet and ripe. Unlike some other fruit, watermelon will cease to ripen once picked.

03.
give it a thump

Thumping a ripe melon with your knuckle should produce a deep and hollow sound, like "pong."  Underripe, the melon will have a high-pitched resonance, like "ping."
