The color of the "meat" is easy to recognize sweet watermelon, but when this summer staple is in one piece, it's not exactly the easiest.
Picking a ripe watermelon requires a bit of luck, and these tricks will help:
1. LOOK FOR A YELLOW SPOT ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATERMELON
Have you noticed a spot on the surface of the watermelon? It represents the place where it lay on the ground during ripening. The ripest watermelons have a yellowish spot, while those that are white or light green in color should be avoided because they are picked before they are ripe. Don't even buy a watermelon that doesn't have any blemishes on the surface.
2. CHOOSE FRUIT WITHOUT DAMAGE
The surface of the watermelon should be dark green, hard to the touch, smooth and without visible damage. A soft surface is a sure sign that the fruit has started to rot, and avoid a dried surface that has lost all its juiciness and sweetness. The fruit should be asymmetrical, and those with unusual humps should be left to someone else.
3. TEST THE WEIGHT OF THE WATERMELON
Maybe you don't want to carry a heavy watermelon home, but you should give the heaviest fruit the most attention. As much as 92 percent of watermelon is water, so the juiciest fruits are also the heaviest. Pick up several watermelons of the same size, and take home the heaviest one. That will be the sweetest and juiciest!
