Matters needing attention in selecting watermelon

1, observe the appearance. Fresh watermelons usually have bright surface color and smooth and shiny skin. Avoid choosing watermelons with obvious damage, depression, congestion or fading on the surface, which may be signs of poor quality. Secondly, pat the watermelon. Tap the surface of watermelon with your knuckles. Fresh watermelons should emit rich echoes, not dull or empty sounds. This is because the inside of fresh watermelon is full of water, and there will be holes in the inside of overripe or stale watermelon, and the knocking sound will be different.

2. Observe the pedicel of watermelon. The stems of fresh watermelons are usually dry and have certain stem marks. If the fruit stalk shows signs of dampness or mildew, it may be because the watermelon is improperly stored or overripe. Finally, pay attention to the weight and size of watermelon. Generally speaking, watermelons with the same volume will be heavier when they are fresh. Therefore, you can gently lift the watermelon with your hands and feel its weight. If it feels heavy, it may be because it is full of water.
