There are many reasons to love this striped green rind melon.It is very low in calories and incredibly hydrating. One cup of watermelon contains only 46 calories and about 20% RDA of vitamins A and C.One cup also contains 5% RDA of potassium. Watermelon is sweet yet
mild. Hydrating, yet big on chew appeal. Seedless watermelon is
available and you can even find mini watermelons in an easy-to-carry
round shape and smaller size.
Recipe Ideas
Watermelon tastes great plain, or chopped up in a summertime fruit
salad. It makes a wonderful puree for sea bass. It also tastes great as a dessert dish. You can juice it and add some mint for extra flavor! However, I like to eat all melon first and separate from
my other foods simply because it is so easily digestible.
Tips:
When choosing a melon, get one with an intense green rind. Better color
on the outside me and better color on the inside. Another melon trick:
knock on the rind with your fist. A hollow sounding knock means the
inside is nice and firm-good sign. Never buy a watermelon with a soft
rind or yellow green color.

Dale Kimenker
Tell us a little about yourself?
I'm retired from the local carpenters union(1999) after 20 years, after I retired I became a superintendent for general contractors. However after 8 years & the economic crash I became unemployed, and was offered by my cousin in Phoenix to come see what he did. And here I am! I'm married (30 years this Dec.) 2 daughters, 3 grandsons, 1 granddaughter.
Apart from Creating hats, what do you do?
I golf, camp and spend as much time with family as I can.
Describe your creative process.
I receive the hats in a raw form, open crown and pretty floppy. I then soak them in my 15 gallon bucket of water for 3 to 5 minutes. I then proceed to hand shape them.
Do you have a favorite item that you sell?
I really like the 5" brim hat. It gives maximum protection from the harmful UV-A and UV-B rays, and I can do so much with it and it looks great.
Name your top 3 musicians.
James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Jim Morrison.
What advice would you give a new Vendor?
I have only been one for about 8 months. Don't give up when you don't sell. 1 day doesn't make a week, a week doesn't make a month, and a month doesn't make a year.
What is your favorite part about fresh52?
The friendly folks I met so far.
How do you promote your work?
Mostly word of mouth
In ten years where would you like to be?
At fresh 52 of course. Just joking. Somewhere up north.
