How to choose fresh and delicious watermelon
- Red, sweet watermelons are usually those that are mature with small, withered stems, firm and shiny skin, with clear black stripes or brown spots on the body of the watermelon.
- You should choose the watermelons with a yellow or cream-colored bottom skin. Additionally, pay attention to whether the bottom is dented, as the more dented it is, the sweeter the watermelon will be.
- If you feel the weight of the watermelon is heavier than its appearance, and when you knock it, it makes a “thump thump” sound, then it will definitely be a juicy watermelon.
- Avoid buying watermelons that are soft, with fresh green stems, or those that feel lighter than their outward appearance.
