## Why Pickle Watermelon?
Pickling watermelon preserves the fruit while enhancing its flavor with vinegar, spices, and a hint of heat. The process transforms the crisp flesh into a tangy, slightly crunchy bite that balances sweetness with acidity and spice. Plus, pickled watermelon rind and flesh offer different textures and flavors — making the whole fruit usable and reducing waste.
