Each of the Lawson Store 100 stores will hold a "Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Market" every Tuesday and Friday in August. When domestic fruits are abundantly available, we have a selection of fruits and vegetables that are particular about the "season".

Lawson Store 100 "Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Market"

Every Tuesday and Friday in August, seasonal fruits such as watermelon, peach, Komizu pear, and Delaware, and summer vegetables such as tomato, cucumber, eggplant, and bitter gourd are sold. Among them, the best ones are "watermelon" and "bitter gourd".

How to eat delicious watermelon

At Lawson Store 100, both cut watermelons and single watermelons are available. The ones that are harvested in the most delicious state (appropriately ripe) are sold, so it is recommended that you eat them as soon as you buy them.

If the watermelon is cooled too much for a long time and becomes too cold, it will be difficult to feel the sweetness. The whole watermelon should be cooled about an hour before eating. Since the center of the watermelon is the sweetest, you can cut the sweet part evenly by cutting from the skin toward the center point.

In addition, there has been a traditional way of eating watermelon by "sprinkling salt". One of the reasons is the contrasting effect of the taste of salty salt, which enhances the sweetness of the squid. And the other is that if you sweat a lot in the summer, you will lose salt as well as water from your body. By sprinkling salt on a watermelon with plenty of fruit juice and eating it, the lost water and salt can be supplemented at the same time.

How to eat bitter gourd deliciously

Bitter melon "Goya" originated in Okinawa. If you don't like strong bitterness, you can reduce the bitterness by slicing it thinly or by rubbing salt and sprinkling boiling water before cooking.

"Goya Chanpuru" is a dish in which sliced bitter gourd is cooked with tofu, eggs and oil, and the mellowness of the eggs makes it easy for children to eat. Also, lightly boil the sliced bitter gourd in salt, drain it, and add dried bonito flakes to complete the soaking.

It is recommended to eat bitter gourd tempura with salt. If you use somen or udon toppings, it will be a summery dish.
