How to Cut a Watermelon

Cutting watermelon into bite-sized cubes is quick and simple — perfect for snacking at home or packing for work, the beach, or soccer practice.

Just be sure to wash and dry the rind before you begin.

Slice the watermelon lengthwise into quarters. Place each quarter on its rind with the flesh facing up.

About 3/4 inch below the top of the wedge, make a horizontal cut from one edge of the rind to the other.

Move the knife down another 3/4 inch and repeat the cut. Continue making horizontal cuts down the wedge.

Turn the wedge around and repeat the horizontal cuts from the opposite side.

Starting at one end, make vertical cuts straight down the fruit about 3/4 inch apart across the entire wedge.

Gently remove the cubes and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
