How to Choose Fresh Winter Melon
- Fresh winter melons are large, firm, and have dark green skin. In contrast, overripe melons will have black skin, many seeds inside, and will taste sour.
- Choose melons that feel heavy and firm when picked up. The skin should be hard but can be pressed with a fingernail, and the stem should be thick.
- Avoid buying soft winter melons as they are wilted and no longer fresh for processing.
