To Kick Off the Summer, STARCHEFS AND THE NATIONAL WATERMELON PROMOTION BOARD HAVE PARTNERED WITH Some of THE COUNTRY’S TOP RESTAURANTS TO BRING NEXT-LEVEL Watermelon DISHES AND DRINKS TO YOUR CITY!
Did you know that 100% of a watermelon is edible, including the green skin, seeds, and rind? This means watermelon is a zero food waste ingredient. Visit watermelon.org for creative ways to use the whole watermelon—flesh, juice, and rind.
