Step by step instructions to pick a flawless watermelon: tips from an accomplished rancher

in #food8 years ago

Who doesn't love watermelon? A great many people are fixated on this flavorful and invigorating natural product. In some cases we believe that unless you're an accomplished agriculturist, purchasing a succulent, wonderful, completely ready, and sweet watermelon is all in or all out. In any case, it doesn't need to be on the off chance that you search for a couple of things when you're selecting your melon. Truth be told, you can tell whether a watermelon is ready without really cutting it.

Look for the field spot

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.

Look for ’webbing’

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.

’Boy’ and ’girl’ watermelons

Many people do not know that farmers differentiate watermelons by gender. For example, ’boys’ are bigger, have an elongated shape, and a watery taste. The ’girls’ have a rounded shape and are very sweet.

Pay attention to the size

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.

Inspect the tail

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.
