Today I show you how to use watermelon skin to make delicious recipes.
Yes, watermelon is not just about its delicious red and sweet flesh.
Do you know that watermelon skin is much more than just waste to be thrown in the trash?
Not only is it edible but its uses are far more numerous than you might think.
But really, what are we talking about? What is watermelon rind?
It's the white, firm part of the fruit that remains when you've eaten all the red part.
It has a crunchy texture reminiscent of cucumber. And it is full of benefits.
Just remove the green part to turn it into something delicious.
So here are 5 easy and delicious watermelon rind recipes . Watch:
Allow a few days before you can use your watermelon pickles so the rind has plenty of time to develop a tangy flavor.

You can also serve them as an aperitif to amaze your guests!
