Funded by nearly 700 producers, handlers and importers, the Watermelon Board promotes the year-round availability of watermelon. America’s favorite melon has a lot of room for growth on menus. Watermelon’s flesh, juice and rind bring a unique flavor, color and texture to any dish. Cooking techniques like compressing, taste affinities like tajin, and flavor contrasts like harissa, help illustrate watermelon’s versatility. Connect with the Board to receive watermelon menu support.
