The best time to enjoy the freshness of water melon is in a hot day. The liquid fades your thirst away. It even tastes a lot better if you have it cold.
But, you know what…based on a study, the best way to consume water melon is when it’s not cold.
Compared to the one put in the fridge, water melon which is kept in the room temperature contains 139% extra beta-carotene and extra 40% licopene.
After the crop/harvest, nutrition in the water melon keeps increasing until 14-21 days. The cold temperature (around 5°C) stops the nutrition addition process. It even eases the decomposition.
