Notes

Cutting a watermelon is a messy job, due to watermelon juices. Make sure you protect your kitchen counter with paper towels.
The watermelon rind is edible and tastes like cucumbers. Some pickle the rinds while others use it for stir-fries. 
To store fresh watermelon in a fridge I suggest you wrap it with plastic foil wrap or store it in an airtight container. The fresh watermelon should be consumed within three days.
