How to choose cantaloupe? Effective way to choose cantaloupe

Muskmelon is one of my favorite fruits, but many times the muskmelons I bought don’t taste good when eaten. They are either bitter or have no aroma at all. This makes me very distressed. Some time ago, when I went back to my hometown, my neighbor happened to grow many muskmelons. During the chat, I expressed my distress to him. The neighbor’s sister enthusiastically told me some good ways to pick muskmelons. Since then, I have never bought bad muskmelons again. Now I write down the effective methods of picking muskmelons for those who like to eat muskmelons to refer to.

Effective Methods for Selecting Cantaloupe

1. When choosing cantaloupe, appearance is very important. Do not choose those with external injuries or that have turned yellow. Instead, you should choose cantaloupe that has no scars and is green or white in appearance.

2. The weight of the cantaloupe is also an aspect that you should pay attention to when choosing. The weight of raw cantaloupe is heavier than that of ripe cantaloupe. Therefore, when choosing a cantaloupe, you should weigh it in your hand. If it is as heavy as a stone, you should never buy it, because it is not ripe at all. However, if it is too light, you should also not buy it, because it means that the cantaloupe is about to go bad.

3. When buying cantaloupe, you can take a close look at the stem and the top of the melon. If the stem is severely withered, don't buy it, because it is not fresh. There is a round head on the top of the cantaloupe, which is where the smell of the melon is the strongest. When buying, you can pick it up and put it under your nose to smell it. If there is no fragrance, it means that the melon is not ripe. If there is an attractive fragrance, it means that the melon is normally mature and can be purchased.
