How to choose cantaloupe

1. If you play it with your hands and it has a little vibrato, it tastes really good!

2. It should not be too soft to the touch and should have a sweet smell to be delicious.

3. Look at the color of the melon. Choose the yellow one. If you can smell the fragrance of the melon, it means it is a ripe melon.

4. Look at the vine. Thin vines indicate good melons.

5. Look at the shape of the melon. Generally speaking, melons with larger shapes and specifications are better, and they should be bigger.

6. The cantaloupe has two ends. Check the small end to see if there are any signs of natural breakage at the junction of the vine and the melon. If the melon is ripe, there will be a pit where it falls naturally. Otherwise, if the melon is not ripe, it will be picked with the vine on.

7. Check the big head. Press it with your fingers. If it feels a little soft, it should be cooked. Some varieties have small and hard big heads. They may not be suitable for this step.

8. Smell the big head. Generally, you can smell a strong natural aroma at the big head of a ripe melon. If it is very light or has no smell, it may be a water melon.
