These melons are best avoided: watch out for the smell of wine and dents
You can buy a ripe and tasty melon not only during the season – experts believe that you just need to learn how to choose the product.
A good fruit can be recognized by its aroma, although there are unique varieties that have virtually no smell.
In most cases, it is quite difficult to recognize a good melon by its appearance; you will have to use other methods.
Let's see how you can choose a good melon.
How to choose a ripe melon?
The fruit's rind should be easily dented when pressed - slapping it is useless. But if the melon has thick skin, the sound should be dull.
If the melon smells like wine, it may be overripe. If there is a dent when you press it, and the mesh and stripes are unclear, the melon is overripe.
We remind you that melon contains a lot of glucose and it is better not to eat more than 300 grams at one meal - otherwise, a larger amount of mass can cause a laxative effect.
