Energy: ~30 kcal / 100 ml (planning figure - the product label is the final reference)
How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~30 kcal / 100 ml
- Energy density
- 30 kcal / 100 ml
- Basis
- Per 100 ml — a volume. Applying it to a weight would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 ml
- 30 kcal / 100 ml × 30 ml ÷ 100 = ≈ 9 kcal
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Same day only — it separates and turns quickly. Cut melon: wrapped and refrigerated, 1–2 days.
Storage: Whole melon: a cool room. Once cut: wrapped, refrigerated, on a clean tray. The juice: cold, stirred before every pour.
- Watermelon cooler over ice
- Watermelon-mint refresher — press the mint gently, never shred it
- Frozen watermelon cubes replace ice in blended drinks — body without dilution
Blend chilled seedless flesh, strain briefly, and serve cold the same day. It separates on standing — stir before pouring, and skip the sugar when the fruit is ripe.
Mostly water — light and hydrating at ~30 kcal / 100 ml, with modest natural sugars. Ripe fruit needs no added sugar.
