Florida watermelon farmer shares her juicy story

On this episode of Onsite with FSD, the podcast of FoodService Director, we are getting all the dirt on watermelon farming.

Did you know that it really does work to thump the watermelon when picking a good one?

Long before that moment in the grocery store, farmers like Rachel Syngo, Foodservice Committee Chair for the National Watermelon Promotion Board (NWPB) and CMO for Melon1, are planting the seeds, nurturing the plants, studying the soil, the weather and so many other factors.

Syngo also travels around as an ambassador, sharing the resources the Watermelon Board has to offer, like recipes, flavor pairings and ways to reduce food waste by using the whole watermelon. And this bonus recipe from FSD and NWPB uses the rind.
