Summer is coming, and watermelon has become the best choice for people to quench their thirst. However, in the face of a dazzling array of watermelons, how to choose a fresh, sweet, and juicy watermelon? Here are three practical ways to pick a watermelon.
Method 1: Observe the appearance
First of all,Observe the appearance of the watermelon. A fresh watermelon usually has a smooth skin and a bright color with a dark green or dark green color. If the watermelon is damaged, dented, or dull in color, it may be overripe or improperly stored, and it is recommended not to buy it.
Secondly,Observe the texture of the watermelon. Fresh watermelon has a clear pattern with different shades of green stripes. The more pronounced the texture, the higher the sweetness and moisture of the watermelon.
Method 2: Tap to listen to the sound
Hold the watermelon in your hand and gently tap the rind of the watermelon with your fingers. If you hear a crisp and pleasant sound, it means that the watermelon has sufficient moisture inside, the flesh is firm, and the sweetness is high. If you hear a dull and muddy sound, it may be that the flesh inside the watermelon is loose and not sweet enough.
Method 3: Observe Guati
The guati of the watermelon is the part that connects the vine and the watermelon, and the freshness of the watermelon can be judged by looking at the guati. Fresh watermelon guati has a green color with no signs of wilting or breaking. If the guati is dry, broken, or yellow, the watermelon may not be fresh and is not recommended to be purchased.
To sum up, it is not difficult to pick a fresh, sweet, and juicy watermelon. As long as you master the above three methods, carefully observe and choose carefully, you can easily buy a satisfactory watermelon. Have a great summer!
