Don't make any of these mistakes the next time you go shopping for a watermelon at the store or market. It is watermelon season in many parts of the country. That means you should have access to locally grown watermelon. But don't assume that. Always make sure to check the sticker on the watermelon. Where are the watermelons coming from? This time of year you shouldn't be buying a watermelon that was picked in Mexico, when local options are available.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Cherries

Learn what you always want to look for when it comes to buying cherries from the store or farmers market. Whenever I am shopping for cherries the number one thing I look for is color. This will determine whether the cherries will be sweet and flavorful or sour and bland. I want to start by talking about the bags of dark cherries that are the most commonly found cherries in grocery stores nationwide. Cherries that are sold in the stores as "dark cherries" or "red cherries", should be dark in color. They should be closer to black in color than red. Often you won't find all the cherries in the bag to be exactly the same color, but the majority of them should be dark.
