Melon is one of the most delicious and popular products of late August and early September, so it is worth learning how to choose it correctly.
After all, not every melon can please you with its juiciness, sweetness and pleasant taste.
How to choose a quality melon
The first thing you should pay attention to is the appearance of the fruit. There should not be even minor damage to the melon peel. Cracks will also indicate that it is better not to buy the melon.
The presence of signs of mold indicates that the melon has already gone bad.
It is important to smell the fruit. If the melon is ripe and fresh, its aroma will be pleasant.
When you press on the fruit, you should feel a kind of "springiness". You can also tap on the melon. The presence of a characteristic dull sound indicates that the product is worth buying.
There is another important sign that should not be ignored. Even a small melon should be quite heavy. If the fruit is light, it has not had time to fully ripen and gain sweetness.
If you follow all these recommendations, you can choose the perfect melon.
