How to choose elizabeth melon?

1, look at the color

When choosing elizabeth melon at ordinary times, we must look at its appearance color, because the mature elizabeth melon is golden in color. If it is found that its skin is pale or yellow, it means that this kind of melon is not mature enough to buy and eat.

2. Look at the melon vines

When choosing elizabeth melon, you can also look at its remaining melons and vines. If you find that the melons and vines in elizabeth melon are still green and have a lot of moisture, it means that this is a fresh elizabeth melon that has just been picked. If you find that its melons and vines have fallen off or been seriously dehydrated, it means that it has been stored for too long, and it is not fresh at all, so it is not suitable for purchase and consumption.

3. Smell the smell

If you find that elizabeth melon doesn't have this smell, it means that it is not ripe, or the taste is not sweet at all.

4. Weight

There must be a link between moisture and weight. It's a big melon, but it doesn't weigh much. It's estimated that no one will buy it. The similar size can be selected by weight, and the heavy melon must be full of water.

Some ripe melons will become very soft. If you eat them right away, you can choose melons that are not too soft. Soft and strong, or it may be broken, so friends who can't choose are still hard to buy. This kind of food is often fresh and moist. Don't use too much force when you choose, the skin of the melon is very thin. Too much force will hurt the appearance of the melon.

6, peel scars

Don't think that the injury on the outside will not affect the taste inside. It is precisely because of the protection of the peel that we can eat sweet pulp. So don't choose melons that are cut by something.
