A sweet, juicy slice of watermelon is one of the best things about summertime, but way too many times I’ve stared dubiously at the pile of melons at the store, trying to decide which one to choose. Often when I get home and slice it open, the melon is a disappointing light pink and not at all sweet.

When I was younger, I loved eating corn on the cob solely because it meant using our cute corn-shaped holders. I’ve since gained a more nuanced appreciation for sweet summer corn—it’s easy to prepare, can be added to any number of summer dishes, and needs few (if any!) adornments when eaten at its prime. In fact, I stalked my local farmers market’s Instagram page to know the very first day it was ready for pickup.

Green olives are one of my very favorite foods. Salty, fruity, briny, nutty, and buttery, their complexity adds depth to almost any dish, and they pair beautifully with a number of foods, notably cheese. In my humble opinion, no cheese plate is complete without a big bowl of green olives. They offer a zippy reprieve from all the richness a good snack board has to offer.

In a world where everyone lives a fast-paced life, no one has the time to grow their own food. All they can do is rely on the grocery stores and supermarkets that claim to have organic options. However, the "fresh produce" claim might not always be true. Many customers share how they stumbled upon artificially-ripened or wax-coated fruits. Recently, a Walmart customer was shocked to find that their watermelon had an unusual appearance after washing. Gabriela, a beautician–who goes by @gabrielanailsnmakeup on TikTok–posted a video revealing how a Walmart's watermelon transformed after a rinse and people couldn't believe their eyes.

Summer produce is something I look forward to all year long. As soon as the warm weather strikes, I’m busting out the recipes that use fresh zucchini, tomatoes, strawberries, and cucumbers. However, as much as I love my grandma’s zucchini pie or a BLT, I will choose corn on the cob over other summer produce any day of the week.

Few foods are as refreshing on a hot summer day as watermelon. However, it's sometimes easy to get carried away and end up buying too much of this sweet, natural treat. A whole uncut watermelon should last from seven to 10 days at room temperature and two to three weeks in the refrigerator. But what can you do if you've assessed your household's meal plan for the next week (or your free fridge space) and admitted there's just no way you'll be able to eat that watermelon in time?
