1. The best way to buy watermelons in summer is to look at the navel. The navel is like the belly button of the human body. If the navel of a watermelon is small, the skin of the watermelon is thinner and the taste is better. If the navel is large, the skin of the watermelon is thick and it definitely doesn't taste sweet. In addition, when choosing watermelons in summer, try to choose watermelons with inward-retracted navels, which is a sign of the natural maturity of the watermelon.

2. When buying watermelons in the summer, it is also a good idea to look at the vines. Everyone may know that the fresher the vines, the fresher the watermelon. If the vines are dry, it means the watermelon is no longer fresh. Also, check whether the vines are curled. If they are, they taste very sweet. If they are straight, don't buy them, as they are of poor quality.

3. When picking watermelons in the summer, you can hold it in one hand, and then gently tap the watermelon with the other hand. If you can feel a slight vibration in the hand holding the watermelon, it means that this watermelon is a first-class good watermelon. It must be a fully ripe watermelon, and the taste will be particularly sweet.
