How to choose a watermelon with a lot of water
- Shape: you should choose watermelons that are evenly round, with heads and tails symmetrical to each other, as such fruits tend to ripen uniformly.
- Watermelon stem: unlike other fruits, the drier and more withered the stem of the watermelon is, the sweeter the fruit is. Fresh, green-stemmed fruits may be picked early or not fully ripe, and will not have the highest sweetness.
- The yellow ground contact area: the more yellow the part of the watermelon that touches the ground is, the riper and sweeter it is. Avoid buying watermelons with a ground contact area that is still slightly green or white as they are still immature.
- The belly button of the watermelon and weight: it is advisable to choose watermelons with a deep belly button as they are usually the tastiest. Between two watermelons of the same size, the older watermelon will have denser flesh and a greater weight compared to the one that is not yet ripe.
- Bee sting marks: On the watermelon rind, there are brown spots called bee sting marks, left by bees when pollinating the flowers. The more times it is pollinated, the tastier the watermelon will be.

- Color: The color of the body or crown of the pineapple determines its sweetness, so you should choose those with a bright yellow color from the crown to the tail. Remember, the more evenly yellow the pineapple, the sweeter it is.
- Shape: Round, short pineapples will have more flesh compared to long, cylindrical ones.
- Touch: Fresh, good pineapples will not be too hard or too soft; pressing your finger into it should not create a dent.
- Pineapple eyes: The larger and sparser the eyes of the pineapple, the better.
- Pineapple crown: The greener the crown, the fresher the pineapple. If the pineapples are too ripe, the crown will be dry or turn brown.
How to choose fresh celery
- You should choose celery with bright green leaves, white tender stalks, and thick stems and leaves; the stalks should be round and uniform.
- Avoid celery with unusually plump white stems, as this indicates it has been over-fertilized.
- You should also not choose celery that is turning yellow, with wilted, soft leaves and stems, as this is celery that has been harvested for a long time and is no longer fresh.

- Additionally, male peppers are typically longer in shape, while female peppers are shorter and wider.
- Depending on your usage needs, choose accordingly.
- Female bell peppers are notably sweeter and taste great when eaten raw or juiced.
- Male bell peppers tend to be sour and firm, making them suitable for cooking.
How to choose bell peppers for juicing (choose female bell peppers):
– When buying bell peppers, you should select those with a shiny, thick, smooth skin and that still have their stems attached.
– It’s advisable to choose peppers that feel heavy in hand and have bright colors, as these are fresh, delicious, and nutrient-rich.
