How to choose good watermelon
- Shape: you should choose watermelons that are evenly round, with matching ends because such fruits usually ripen evenly.
- Watermelon stem: unlike other fruits, the drier the watermelon stem, the sweeter the watermelon will be. Fresh, green stems may indicate that the fruit was picked early or is not yet ripe, resulting in lower sweetness.
- Yellow ground contact area: the more yellow the part of the watermelon that touches the ground, the riper and sweeter it is. Avoid buying watermelons with green or white ground contact areas as they are still immature.
- Watermelon navel and weight: it is recommended to choose watermelons with a deep navel (bottom) as these are often the tastiest. Among two watermelons of the same size, the older watermelon will have a denser flesh and weigh more than the under-ripe watermelon.
- Bee sting marks: Brown spots on the watermelon rind are called bee sting marks, left by bees when pollinating the flowers. The more times pollination occurs, the sweeter the watermelon will be.

- Apple Skin: choose apples with bright colors, shiny skin, and a smooth texture. If you prefer sweet apples, opt for darker-colored ones with small white specks on the skin.
- Fruit Size: only select apples that are of moderate size, slightly larger than a tennis ball.
- Stem Part: freshly harvested apples will have a new and fresh stem firmly attached. Do not choose apples with fallen stems or dried stems.
- Using Your Hand: a good and juicy apple will be quite round, firm, and feel heavy in your hand. If pressing your finger into the apple feels firm and plump, it is a good apple. Try tapping the apple; if the sound is loud and clear, it is crispy and delicious.

How to Choose Juicy Lemons
Juicy lemons are usually small, have thin skin, and when you touch the lemon skin, it feels smooth, not rough.
Juicy lemons will feel firm in hand, and when you gently press on the skin, a little essential oil will be released. The lemon essential oil has a pleasant aroma, without the pungent smell of lemons that have been treated with chemicals.
How to choose delicious pomegranates:
- Fruit size: When buying pomegranates, you should choose larger, round fruits that feel firm in your hand. Avoid small fruits as they are often still immature, and will taste bland and sour when eaten.
- Fruit skin: You should choose pomegranates with a slightly blemished skin, as these are likely to be ripe, juicy, and have many seeds.
- Additionally, to determine whether a pomegranate has many seeds, you should select fruits with slightly protruding seeds, which do not need to be smooth, as these are the tasty pomegranates.
Tips for quickly separating pomegranate seeds:
- Use a knife to cut a small piece off the crown of the pomegranate. Then, make 4 strong cuts around the pomegranate, along its body, dividing the fruit into 4 equal parts.
- Gently pull apart the pomegranate skin, discarding the core in the center. Then, place the cut side of the pomegranate down into a large bowl, and use a spoon to tap on the pomegranate, applying just enough force for the seeds to fall out without being crushed.
- This method saves you time in separating the pomegranate to extract the seeds, and you won’t have to worry about getting the juice on your hands.
Health benefits of pomegranates:
- Anti-aging, effectively beautifies the skin.
- Prevents blood clotting.
- Prevents atherosclerosis.
- Helps reduce high blood pressure.
- Prevents arthritis.
