Everyone loves the summer berry – watermelon. No summer is complete without this juicy and incredibly tasty berry.

Watermelon quenches thirst well and contains many vitamins and microelements.

But choosing a tasty and ripe watermelon is very difficult. Find out how you can do it easily.

Everyone is used to the fact that a ripe watermelon has a dry tip. But this is not an indicator.

It may be dry and the middle may be rotten. Therefore, it is worth choosing a watermelon with a greenish and slightly dry tip.

If the tail is straight, the watermelon is sweet; if it is twisted, the middle will be sugary.

Pay attention to the place where the flower grows and the watermelon begins to grow.

If it is wide, the berry is not ripe. And if this place is small, the berry is already ripe, juicy and sweet.

A ripe watermelon has uniform, distinct stripes that alternate.

If the picture is not clear, the watermelon is not ripe.

If there are large white spots on a watermelon, this is a sign that the berry is ripe and could have been infected with helminth eggs on the ground.

A ripe and tasty watermelon should weigh 10 kg. The berries begin to ripen in mid-July.

Therefore, if you decide to try the berry at the beginning of summer, you may harm your health.

You should also avoid buying watermelons near roads: they accumulate dirt.

We wish you success!
