1. Look at the color
When buying watermelons, many people ignore the color. In fact, the color of the watermelon is the most important. Everyone knows that watermelons grow on the ground, so each watermelon has a yellow-white part. This location is called the "shady side" because it does not receive sunlight.
If you want to choose a sweet and juicy watermelon, you need to look at this yellow-white area. The smaller the area, the more sunlight the watermelon receives and the more abundant it is. The sweetness of such a watermelon will be higher. On the contrary, the yellow-white area The larger the area, the less sunlight the watermelons receive, so they are less sweet.
2. Look at the melon pattern
After looking at the color of the melon rind, the next thing to look at is the texture of the melon. As we all know, there are many varieties of watermelons. For example, some with darker rinds have less obvious textures, but No matter what kind of watermelon it is, whether the lines on it are shallow or deep, when selecting, you must choose melons with neat lines and not too thick gaps. Such watermelons will have just the right amount of maturity and moisture.
If you choose one with unclear patterns or too thick gaps, it won’t taste sweet, and the pulp inside will be too stringy. If you spend money and still don’t get the one you like, it’s not worth the gain, so this must be done. Remember, even if you buy half of the watermelon, you can still use it.
3. After looking at the color and pattern of the melon vine
, the next thing to look at is the melon vine. Basically, the watermelons on the market have melon vines, and you can see from the melon vine that this watermelon is It is not fresh. If the color of the melon vine is green and very strong, it means that the melon has just been picked and is relatively fresh.
If the color of the melon vine you see is no longer green, or has even turned yellow, and the water inside is gone when you pinch it, and the entire melon vine has wilted, it means that the melon has been stored for a long time and is not very fresh anymore. , you can’t buy it even if it’s cheap.
4. Look at the melon navel
People often say that when buying watermelons, you should choose "female watermelons" because female watermelons have thin skin, sweet flesh, and more juice. The most critical part to distinguish male and female watermelons is the navel. People who often buy watermelons know this. , there are many watermelons placed in a cart, some with large navels and some with small navels. If you want to choose a "mother watermelon", you need to choose a small melon with a navel, and the surroundings should be filled with concave ones. A melon with a relatively deep navel is what everyone calls a "female watermelon." On the contrary, if it is a large melon with a navel that has not sunk in, it is a "male watermelon." The melon has a thick skin and is not sweet yet.
