When choosing a watermelon, you should look at the grain, the watermelon vine, the melon navel, tap and listen to the sound, and weigh the weight.

1. Look at the texture

In fact, people who know how to choose watermelons can roughly know whether the watermelon is mature or not by looking at the overall texture of the watermelon. For ripe melons, in terms of texture color, they will be slightly darker and have wider spacing. On the other hand, for immature watermelons, the spacing of their veins is not as wide as that of ripe melons, but is relatively narrow.

2. Look at the watermelon vines

When choosing sweet watermelons, we can also choose according to the color of the melon vines. It is best if the head of the melon vine is dark green, because the greener the watermelon vine is , the fresher it is; in addition, watermelons with curved vines will be much sweeter than watermelons with straight vines. However, if the watermelon vine is yellow or even dry, this is the so-called "ayahuasca melon". If you see this kind of watermelon, just skip it.

3. Look at the melon navel

Look at the melon navel. For ripe melons, the navel is sunken. For immature watermelons, there is no navel. Takes on a slightly concave shape. Let’s take a look at the vine of a mature watermelon. It is also slightly sunken around it. The umbilicus and vine are deeper and the surrounding area is plump. Then we can judge that this melon is most likely to have a sag. It's a ripe melon.

4. Pat and listen to the sound

Put the watermelon on the table and pat it lightly with your fingers. We should pay attention to the sound of the watermelon. If the sound is dull, it means that the watermelon is not too sweet. Ripe, or maybe half-ripe melons, which are not too sweet to eat. Then the watermelon makes a crisp "dong dong" sound, then it is a ripe melon. Another thing to note is that when the rind of a ripe watermelon is flicked, the watermelon will tremble slightly when you hold it. After all, the flesh inside a mature melon is moderately plump and hard, and the transmitted vibrations are obvious.

5. Weigh the weight

Another method is that if several watermelons are similar in size and the melon vines are equally fresh, then it is recommended to choose the lighter one. Because heavier means the watermelon has a higher water content, which also means the sugar content is diluted. If they come from the same origin, choose the lighter ones to ensure you pick sweet watermelons. The lighter the watermelon is, the better. If it is too light, it may be overripe, and the texture and taste of the watermelon will be greatly reduced.
