How to pick a perfect watermelon
. Look For The Field Spot.
Look for a large white or yellowish patch on the watermelon.
This is where it made contact with the ground. The larger
and darker the spot, the sweeter the fruit will be.
. Check For Webbing.
The splotchy marks on the watermelon’s rind indicate the frequency
that bees pollenated the flower it grew from. Watermelons
with more webbing will be sweeter than those with less.
. Determine The Watermelon’s Gender.
Watermelons can be male or female!
Males are taller and have more water inside,
while the shorter, rounder females are sweeter.
Sweetest melons have a gold spot on one or more sides.
. Size Matters.
Bigger is not always better. Look for an average-sized watermelon.
Watermelons that are too big or too small aren’t as tasty as the medium-sized melons.
. Check Its Tail.
The curly tail on the watermelon will tell you how recently it was picked.
The dryer the tail, the riper the fruit, and the sweeter the melon will be.
More Pointers
1. Pick A Dull Looking Watermelon: A shiny appearance indicates an underripe melon. This applies to honeydew melons, too.
2. Pick It Up: Big or small, the watermelon should feel heavy for its size.
3. Give It A Thump: Tap the underbelly of the watermelon. A ripe one will have a deep hollow sound. Under-ripe or over-ripe melons will sound dull.
