How to choose watermelon, how to choose watermelon

Watermelon is delicious, but when we buy it, we must also pay attention to some issues. How can we choose a good watermelon? Today I will tell you a good way to choose watermelon:

【look】

For melons with flowery skin, the lines should be clear and distinct in light and dark colors; for melons with black skin, the skin should be dark and shiny. Regardless of the type of melon, if the stem and navel are concave inward, the stalk is close to the skin, and the stem is thick and green, it is a sign of maturity.

【touch】

Touch the melon rind with your thumb. If it feels smooth and hard, it is a good melon. If it feels sticky or soft, it is a bad melon.

【Weigh】

The more mature the watermelon is, the lighter it is. Generally speaking, for watermelons of the same size, the lighter ones are good, while the heavier ones are unripe.

【listen】

Hold the watermelon in your hand and tap it lightly with your fingers. If it makes a crisp "dong, dong" sound and your hand feels a little trembling, it is a ripe watermelon. If it makes a "thump, thump" sound, it is relatively mature. If it makes a "puff, puff" sound, it is overripe. If it makes a "tap, tap" sound, it is raw.

Misunderstandings of choosing watermelon

1. Listen to the sound: Most people think that you can pick out a good watermelon by listening to the sound. You can choose all types of watermelons by listening to the sound. In fact, different watermelons have different sounds because of the thickness, toughness and crispness of the skin.

2. Look at the bottom of the melon: Most people think that if the bottom of the melon turns yellow, it is ripe. In fact, sometimes when the melon is planted, the bottom of the melon is not exposed to light, so it may turn yellow when it is three or four points ripe.
