Watermelons are a delicious treat that peaks in August and September.
However, it is quite difficult to choose a berry that is both tasty and safe for health.
Let's figure out how to enjoy melons without harming your health.
How to avoid watermelon poisoning
To fully enjoy the berry, you should follow a few simple rules.
Firstly, it is worth paying a little extra, but buying a watermelon in a trusted place where all products have certificates.
Buying vegetables and fruits on the highway, where the storage conditions are unknown, is a bad idea.
In addition, it is important to carefully examine the berry from all sides. If the skin of the watermelon is damaged even a little, it is better to refuse to buy it.
You shouldn't buy a sliced watermelon: the only exception is when the berry is sliced in front of you.
Before cutting, it is important to wash the watermelon well so that nothing extra gets on it. And you need to cut the berry on a clean board: it is unacceptable to use the one on which you cut meat and vegetables.
And remember that you can only store sliced watermelon in the refrigerator for no longer than 5-7 days, provided that it is kept in a closed container.
