本週《英語咖啡館》讓我們來揭開夏日消暑聖品的祕密，猜猜是什麼？就是西瓜啦！沒錯，這個平凡的夏季水果竟然是隱藏版的超級食物，每200克只有60卡路里，卻富含維生素A和茄紅素，能強化心血管健康又抗氧化。
在今天這集裡，我們的吃貨克寧老師還帶來了三款西瓜創意料理：清爽的西瓜冷湯、多汁的烤西瓜排，還有環保零浪費的瓜皮沙拉！另外要教大家選西瓜的小撇步：敲一敲～深沉飽滿的「咚咚聲」就是多汁甜美的保證，或是你也可以看蒂頭來知道果肉的熟度喔。
In this week’s episode of English Café, we’re uncovering the secrets of the ultimate summer refresher. Can you guess what it is? That’s right — watermelon! This seemingly ordinary summer fruit is actually a hidden superfood. Every 200 grams contains only 60 calories, yet it’s packed with vitamin A and lycopene, which support heart health and have antioxidant benefits.
In today’s episode, our food-loving Klim shares three creative watermelon recipes: a refreshing watermelon gazpacho, juicy grilled watermelon steaks, and an eco-friendly zero-waste watermelon rind salad!
Plus, we’ll teach you how to pick the perfect watermelon: give it a tap — a deep, hollow “thump” means it’s sweet and juicy. Or check the stem to tell how ripe it is!
