How to Choose a Good Watermelon
Based on the stem
- You should choose watermelons with small, withered, and dry stems.
- Avoid buying watermelons with small, shriveled, and dry stems as they are under ripe and will not be sweet.
Based on the skin
- A watermelon with thin skin and red flesh has a round and smooth skin, especially the black stripes on the body are clearly visible.
- When you press lightly on the skin and feel it is firm, not soft, and when you tap on the watermelon it makes a “thud” sound, then that watermelon is very good and sweet.
Based on the weight
- A good and juicy watermelon is heavier than its usual size.
