How to choose fresh and delicious winter melon

  • You should choose large, straight, and firm winter melons with a natural green skin color.
  • If the winter melon has a dark green skin, it is an older fruit, which will not be tasty or sweet when cooked, so you should avoid buying these.
  • A good winter melon will have a thick and fat stem, and when you press on the body of the fruit, you will feel the firmness and juiciness of the winter melon.
  • Do not buy soft winter melons, as these are wilted fruits that will not retain their freshness and characteristic flavor when cooked.
