A Surprising Twist: Adding Baking Soda to Melon Rinds - Page 3

Create a Baking Soda Bath: Fill a bowl with warm water and add a teaspoon of baking soda for every four cups of water. Stir until the baking soda is dissolved.
Soak the Rinds: Place the melon rind pieces into the baking soda water and let them soak for about 15-20 minutes. This soaking process helps to soften the rinds and makes them easier to digest.
Rinse and Cook: After soaking, rinse the rinds thoroughly under cold water to remove any traces of baking soda. You can then choose to cook them further in boiling water until tender, or sauté them with spices for a savory dish.
