watermelon juice

[JulesRules]

I'm newly raw...just got back from farmers market and picked up a local yellow melon....I like the idea of juicing the rind and blending the rest....I love to eat it too, though and sometimes feel like I could eat the whole thing without even blending.

all this watermelon talk has convinced me to cut open the one I have.

uh-oh!! don't have enough foil for all the pieces.... I guess that means I have to eat half of it right now. *yum*

Today I put 1/4 whole melon in the vitamix w/ squeeze of fresh lime....blended with a couple handfuls of ice...deelicious!!!

Great idea! I read, too, that watermelon is packed with lycopene.

Curious....what color did it turn out to be?? Pink?

Mmmm I love watermelon juice! Although, I blend it up and strain it rather than juicing it. I also add green powder to it, it's great for green juice!!

I had watermelon juice today, too! I adore watermelon. (sighs fondly) I also love watermelon salsa. There is a fire and ice recipe I think on allrecipes. At first I though watermelon, salt, onions, and jalapenos would be horrid. Fell in love with it!

Hey Courtney~ *s*
Yes it was a beautiful pink. I liked it much better in the vitamix than juiced. It really didn't feel fibery to drink at all. It's funny how your tastes change on raw....I tried it afew years ago and even though I loved watermelon couldn't stand the juice..the lime is a really nice little touch, just agood squeeze, half a lime's worth.
Can't wait to get to the store to buy another one!!

How do you store watermelon? In or outside the fridge?

I can't fit one in my fridge....I buy it, store it on the counter and try to use within 4 days or so~

I bought two large watermelons today, and ate 1/2 of one this evening in one sitting. yum.

I've juice watermelon before in the juicer, but after reading all these posts, I'm going to throw it in the vitamix instead. Looking forward to having some for breakfast tomorrow.

Glimr -- I keep cut watermelon in the fridge.
Uncut ones I set on the floor in front of the airvent, so when the a/c comes on, it gets a dose of cool air. A melon in this house doesn't hang around long -- 2-3 days at the most.

Uncut definitely better outside the fridge. It is a warmthloving plant.

I made watermelon juice for the first time today - in the blender. Like everybody has said, it was GOOD! The seeds were ground very finely and fell to the bottom of blender/glass. Since I didn't have enough room to store much in the refridgerator, I blended more than I could drink today and stored 32 ounces of juice in glass jar and another 16 ounces in a plastic container in the refridgerator. How long will it last in the fridge?

Can you buy watermelons in the US the whole year around?
