To choose a ripe and sweet watermelon, you need to examine it carefully.
We'll tell you what signs indicate the ripeness and sweetness of a watermelon.
How to choose a ripe and sweet watermelon
First, size. Choose large, oblong watermelons weighing 6-10 kg.
Secondly, the ground spot. It should be bright yellow. The brighter, the better.
Thirdly, the tail and the "button". The tail should be dry. If instead of a tail there is a dry and brown button, you can also take it.
Fourthly, you can determine the "gender" of the watermelon. "Girls" have a wide bottom, while boys have a narrow bottom. A "girl" watermelon has small seeds and is sweeter.
You can also tap the watermelon. The sound should be ringing.
