Which watermelon is sweeter? How to choose watermelon?

Summer is the season for picking watermelons. If you want to pick sweet watermelons, you still need some skills. It is said that watermelons can clear away heat and quench thirst, and they have many benefits. So let's take a look at the book "Why is watermelon sweeter?" and the method of picking watermelons.

How to choose watermelon

1. Look at the shape of the watermelon

  If you want to choose a good watermelon and a sweet watermelon, it is recommended to choose a watermelon with a more symmetrical shape. For example, there are two common watermelon shapes, one is round and the other is oval. Don't choose a watermelon with a pointed tail or a pointed head.

2. Look at the watermelon skin

  The skin of watermelons is usually green. But if you look closely, you will see stripes on the skin. When choosing a watermelon, look at the stripes. If the stripes are clear and have different shades, then the watermelon is better and tastier. If the stripes are messy, the watermelon is probably not ripe enough.

3. Look at the stem and navel of the watermelon

  To find a sweeter watermelon, it is recommended to choose a watermelon with a deep concave stem and a concave navel. The watermelon stem should be full around, which means the watermelon is ripe.

4. Look at the vines

  When farmers pick watermelons, they usually leave part of the vines. When we choose watermelons, we can tell the freshness of the watermelons by looking at the vines.   Generally, if the vine is still dark green and fresh, it means that the watermelon has just been picked. If we find that the vine has withered, then the watermelon may not be fresh and it is not recommended to choose it.     We can also look at the thickness of the vine. If the vine is relatively curved and the root is relatively thick, it means that the watermelon is relatively mature and the flesh will be sweeter.

    When choosing watermelons, choose sweeter ones. We can also knock on the watermelon and listen to the sound. If the sound made by the watermelon is relatively crisp, it means that the watermelon is relatively ripe.

    The above are the methods for choosing watermelons. Have you learned it?
