Picking A Perfect Watermelon
Those of us who love watermelon would know how it feels to buy a watermelon only to find out its not sweet or unripe. Well, I found us a solution.
The yellow spot, known as the field spot, is the place where the watermelon rested on the ground. Ripe watermelons always have creamy yellow or even orange-yellow spots, not white.
These weblike brown spots on the watermelon mean that bees touched the pollinating parts of the flower many times. The more pollination, the sweeter the fruit is.
Many people do not know that farmers differentiate watermelons by gender. For example, βboysβ are bigger, have an elongated shape, and a watery taste. The βgirlsβ have a rounded shape and are very sweet.
It is better to choose neither the largest nor the smallest watermelon. Select an average-sized fruit. And note, please: large or small, the watermelon should feel heavy for its size.
A dried tail indicates that the watermelon is ripe. However, if the tail is green, it probably means that the watermelon was picked too soon and will not be ripe.
