1, not the same sweet
Extra-small melon is very small, but sweet and crisp, and the skin is very thin. The crispness, sweetness and taste of ordinary watermelon are not as good as those of Texiaofeng. The only advantage is more water and thick skin.
2. Different pulp
Extra-small-abundant watermelon has a thin skin, and the flesh is crystal yellow, which is yellow flesh, while the flesh of ordinary watermelon is red, so the fruit of extra-small-abundant watermelon is completely different from ordinary watermelon.
3. Different sizes
Extra-small watermelon is much smaller than ordinary watermelon. Melons are generally high-spherical to slightly long-spherical, and the single fruit is also light, weighing about three kilograms, while ordinary watermelons are generally larger, such as black beauty, which can weigh more than ten kilograms.
4. Different growing environments
Very small phoenix likes hot, dry and sunny, and is not cold-resistant. Ordinary watermelons like warm and dry climate and are not cold-resistant. Xinjiang, Lanzhou, Gansu, Dezhou, Shandong and Dongtai, Jiangsu are the most famous. The growing environment of Texiaofeng and ordinary watermelon is still different.
Selection method of watermelon
1, look at the grain: the grain color of ripe melon will be slightly darker and the spacing will be wider, while the grain spacing of immature watermelon will be relatively narrow.
2. Look at the watermelon vines: the melon vines are best in thick green, because the greener the watermelon vines, the fresher they are; In addition, the watermelon with curved vines is much sweeter than that with straight vines.
3. Look at the navel of the melon: the navel of the ripe melon is concave, and the navel of the immature watermelon is not slightly concave. There are also slight depressions around the vines of mature watermelons. The navel and vines are deeply sunken and full around, so nine times out of ten this melon is a mature melon.
4. Tap the inquiry voice: tap the watermelon gently with your fingers. If the sound is boring, it means that the watermelon is not too mature, and it may be a semi-ripe melon, which is not too sweet to eat. Then the watermelon makes a crisp "plop" sound, so this is a ripe melon.
5. Weighing: If several watermelons are about the same size and the melons are as fresh as vines, it is recommended to choose the lighter one. Because the heavier the watermelon, the higher the water content, which means that the sugar content is diluted.
