Hami melon, like other melons, is likely to produce a special melon with bitter taste, especially the pulp near the bottom of the melon. Of course, it is also possible that cantaloupe is not fully mature, and only part of it is mature. If it is found that every melon has a bitter taste, it may also be related to a large area of abnormal taste.
If the drug is not used scientifically in the process of manual intervention, it will produce a situation that looks mature in an immature period, which is usually called "ripening". The sugar accumulation of the "ripened" melon is insufficient, and the flesh is a bit bitter. Therefore, when encountering bitter cantaloupe, it may be due to the ripening agent.
Selection method of cantaloupe:
1. Look at the epidermis: press the epidermis with your fingers, it will be moist and elastic after pressing, which means it is fresh, otherwise it will not be fresh if it is dry; The more scars, the deeper the lines, and the turquoise skin tastes better.
2. Look at both ends: a white circle at the top indicates a naturally mature melon. The wetter the melon vine, the fresher it is. If it is dry or rotten and moldy, it means it is not fresh.
3. Smell: Naturally ripe cantaloupe smells natural fragrance. If there is no fragrance, it means it is not mature or fresh.
