Choosing a sweet and juicy watermelon at the market is not that difficult.
We tell you what to pay attention to in order to make the right choice.
First, the watermelon should be free of dents and cracks. Minor scratches are acceptable.
Secondly, the watermelon should be bright green with distinct stripes and a bright yellow spot.
If the spot is pale or absent, the watermelon was picked too early.
Third, weight. Pick up the watermelon. If it feels too light for its size, it's probably not very juicy.
Fourth, the tail. It should be dry and brown. If the tail is green, the watermelon is not ripe.
Fifth, you need to tap the watermelon. If the sound is dull and deep, the watermelon is ripe and juicy.
