Message: [QUOTE="Meadowlark, post: 303661, member: 7117"] Actually, science does not back up the claim that it is sweeter out of the fridge. [B]"Chilled watermelon tastes “wetter” and sweeter in the mind because the cooling effect, crisp texture, and altered aroma delivery make it feel more refreshing and satisfying, even if the actual sugar levels are unchanged. For maximum flavor intensity, serving it slightly above room temperature may be better, but for a hot-day treat, the cold version is widely preferred.[/B]" It is very easy to test this with a Brix reading at harvest and another after refrigeration.
