Icebox watermelons are a smaller variety of watermelon, typically weighing between 5 to 15 pounds. They are known for their sweet flavor and crisp texture, making them a popular choice for summer picnics and gatherings. Their size makes them easier to store in a refrigerator, hence the name "icebox." These watermelons have a thick rind that helps protect the fruit inside, allowing for longer storage. They are often round or oval in shape and come in various colors, including green and yellow. Icebox watermelons are ideal for slicing and serving fresh, or they can be used in salads and desserts.
