Many people like to use the method of "patting the melon" to judge the ripeness when buying watermelon. In fact, there is a better way, just look at it!

Look at watermelon vines

It is best to choose watermelon with thick green vines, because the greener the pedicel, the fresher the melon; In addition, melons and vines are curved watermelons and sweeter than melons and vines are straight watermelons.

Look at the navel of melon

The small circle at the bottom of the watermelon is its navel. The smaller the circle of the navel, the thinner the watermelon skin, and the full and juicy pulp inside.

On the other hand, if the navel is bigger, its skin will be thicker and the taste will be worse.

Look at the melon skin

Good watermelons have thick and clear skin lines, distinct shades and bright luster, and the watermelons with neat lines are more delicious than those with disordered lines.

Watermelons with messy patterns are usually not mature enough, and there will be more tendons in them.

In addition, if there is a yellow color block on the melon skin, it is actually because the watermelon is not exposed to the sun and the light is insufficient. Generally speaking, the less the yellow part of the melon skin, the sweeter the melon is.
