How to choose thin-skinned, delicious watermelons
- Sweet red watermelons are usually ripe fruits with a small, slightly wilted stem. In contrast, young watermelons are harvested too early, so the stem is still fresh and green and hasn’t shriveled up.
- Additionally, good watermelons appear plump and shiny on the outside, especially with clearly visible black stripes, not too dull, and the bottom will have a yellow or cream color while being deeply indented.
- If there are brown spots or bee sting marks on the surface, and if you clap your hands and it makes a “thump, thump” sound, those are all signs that the watermelon is good.
- Avoid choosing fruits that feel soft and mushy when pressed, as that indicates the watermelon has been stored for too long and won’t taste good.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Pineapple
- When choosing pineapple, first observe the color. Usually, fruit that has a sweet flavor will have a very eye-catching yellow color, attractive with some green mixed in, and when pressed, it feels moderately soft.
- Most of the fruits that are slightly round and short tend to have more flesh compared to those that are long. Additionally, fruits with larger eyes are naturally ripe and not artificially ripened, and when peeled, they do not lose too much flesh.
- Besides that, you can also rely on the aroma to choose. Avoid selecting fruits with a very strong smell as they spoil quickly; if the fruit does not emit any fragrance, it has not yet reached the necessary ripeness.
- Avoid buying fruits that feel sunken when touched or have uneven colors or too much green, indicating they are not ripe yet; conversely, very dark brown fruits are overripe, fermenting, and about to spoil.
How to cleanly, quickly, and extremely simply peel a pineapple
- To peel a pineapple quickly, first remove the skin, then stand the pineapple upright and identify the eyes diagonally, using a knife to cut along both sides to remove the eyes until finished.
- Additionally, there is another simple method which is to peel it standing up. Similar to the above method, but you will identify the eyes vertically.
- Moreover, if you choose to peel by removing the eyes entirely, first cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, then turn it upside down on the cutting board, using a knife close to the flesh to peel off both the skin and the eyes. If there are any remaining eyes, trim them off, and you are done.
Thus, TasteVN has brought you 7 detailed ways to make pineapple smoothie. Wishing you success in making refreshing smoothies to cool down on hot summer days!
