When is the best time to buy watermelon?
On the shelves of modern supermarkets, watermelons can be found even in winter. However, they can not be compared with their "summer" counterparts either in taste or in the content of nutrients. Watermelons usually appear in large numbers on Russian markets and in stores in early July, and they last until the fall. Therefore, it is not recommended to buy watermelons earlier than mid-July in order to avoid the risk of acquiring an unripe fruit containing nitrates.
