Many people are unsure when faced with a pile of watermelons, wondering which one is truly ripe and flavorful. However, with the right signs, the choice becomes relatively simple.
Whether as a refreshing snack on hot summer days, for salads, barbecues or summer desserts – these tips will help you choose a delicious watermelon.
Important characteristics for a sweet melon
1. Field location
The so-called field location is the place where the melon was on the ground.
Pay attention:
creamy yellow
or slightly orange spots.
This indicates that the watermelon has been ripe long enough.
Avoid:
white
or light green spots.
These often indicate immaturity.
2. Check the weight.
A ripe watermelon should be heavy for its size.
The harder it works, the more water and juice it usually contains.
3. Observe the form
If possible, choose:
uniform,
round,
symmetrical melons.
