Yellow Watermelon
BREAKING NEWS! Yellow watermelon tastes different from regular watermelon! I speak the truth because I just ate some of both kinds over the past few days. Here are some of the major differences. The initial bite of the regular green and pink watermelon tastes sweeter for the fleshy parts. But the juice of the yellow or golden watermelon tastes sweeter than the regular kind. Also yellow watermelon almost reminds me slightly of banana flavored popsicles. Does this sound weird to you? Another cool thing about yellow watermelon is that is has a slightly different texture. It is a bit squishier and more wafer-like than regular watermelon. The yellow watermelon I ate recently had black seeds. So be careful with the seeds man!
Personally I like cutting my watermelon into triangle shaped pieces without any rind. I get rid of the rind. It is a lot more fun to eat watermelon without having to deal with eating around the rind. It is less work. And less work is the key to a better watermelon munching experience. I love mixing up eating watermelon after drinking my coffee or latte. It is a similar experience to eating some ginger root after a few pieces of sushi. It cleanses the palate for another sip to be enjoyed. The only difference is that the watermelon is hydrating and mildly sweet.
I noticed that some people call yellow watermelon, “Golden Watermelon.” I don’t think it looks gold. When I think gold I think of the interior of a Goa’uld Mothership, not this kind of watermelon. Speaking of Goa’uld, DANG I love this Stargate SG-1 show! I can’t tell you how many slices of watermelon I’ve consumed and lattes I’ve sipped while watching episodes of this show. I’m only on season 5 and I am having tons of fun with it.
Wikipedia says that the flavor of yellow watermelon has a “honey” taste to it. I can agree with that to an extent. But I still think it tastes like banana popsicles.
