How to choose cantaloupe? I believe many friends don’t know how to choose when they go to buy it.

Cantaloupe

Look at the color, waxy yellow is the best. If it is white, milky white is the best. If you tap it with your hand and it makes a slight tremor, it is delicious. It should not be too soft, and you should smell it to have a sweet fragrance. Look at the color of the melon, pick the yellow one, and then smell it with your nose. If you can smell the fragrance of the melon, it proves that it is a ripe melon. Also look at the melon. If you want to pick a fine melon, it is a good melon. Look at the shape of the melon. Generally speaking, the melon with a better shape and specification is better, and it should be bigger.

Selection of cantaloupe

1. A cantaloupe has two ends. One end is a big round head. The other end is the vine. The first step is to see if there are any signs of natural breakage at the connection between the vine and the melon on the small end. If the melon is ripe, there will be a pit where it falls naturally. Otherwise, the unripe melon will be picked with the vine on it.

2. 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.

3. 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. The above may not be complete. But it should be close to the truth.
