The main delicacy of summer is watermelon. He is a real handsome man and a favorite of children and adults. And I want to be sure to choose the most juicy and sweet from the entire striped green mountain. Let's go!

Ask him for the documents

A high-quality and safe watermelon always has a certificate and permission to sell. The seller must provide them at the first request of the buyer. This gives you some confidence that the watermelon has ripened itself and does not contain dangerous substances. Perhaps such an approach will be seen as boring, but being vigilant about your family's health is a noble thing.

Suit made of needles

Appearance also speaks of quality. The conditions under which the watermelons were stored and how they were transported largely determine the safety of the purchase. If the seller has whole watermelons, without damage, without rotten areas and dirt of a different nature, then the selection can be continued. Do not take half a watermelon, otherwise you risk getting an intestinal infection.

Also pay attention to how the seller or his assistants behave with watermelons. If they are thrown in a heap, rolled on the ground, there is a high risk of buying a tasteless watermelon here. From sharp shocks, the pulp inside may crack slightly and begin to rot.

Color, pattern and size

If the watermelon is striped, then the stripes should be clearly expressed, and the background should be light.

If evenly green, then look for a deep green color, but not too dark.

A ripe watermelon usually has a yellow spot on the side. It is a trace of contact with the earth when he was still living in the fields. If this spot is soft, the watermelon will be sour.

Huge watermelons always seem very sweet. This is sometimes true: the sweetest watermelon is always huge. But it is not a fact that the largest watermelon from this particular mountain will be tasty. But the probability that he ate fertilizers is very high. In Ukraine, watermelons cannot grow very large, simply because of climatic features. Therefore, try to choose a specimen of medium size, ideally a little larger than a basketball.

Also in favor of the fact that the watermelon ripened on its own, the imperfect shape says. The side it was on (the one with the yellow dot) should be slightly less rounded.

Watermelon experiments

Tap the watermelon with your knuckles. If it is ripe, then the sound will be resonant, as if you were hitting a drum. This means that all cells of the pulp are filled with sweet juice and have reached their maximum size.

If the watermelon is heavy enough for its size, it means that it has had time to be filled with juice, but has not yet ripened to sweetness. A strong man can lightly squeeze a watermelon with two hands to listen for a slight crackle inside. It looks very impressive and adds authority among buyers.

Twist it by the tail. If the peduncle is dry, the watermelon has already ripened and reached its maximum potential. Well, you will find out how high the potential was only when you cut it.

 

Close acquaintance

The choice is made and you have a handsome watermelon at home. However, you have another choice: to eat or not to eat. If the watermelon is very thick-skinned, with white or light yellow veins in the flesh, it means it is full of nitrates and pesticides. Maybe it will even be tasty, but you shouldn't eat it. At least don't give it to children.

If you are lucky and managed to choose a sweet and juicy watermelon, then you are most likely lucky. Because the ripeness of a watermelon does not always indicate its sweetness, and even in one batch there are very tasty and unworthy specimens. But some magicians can always choose only tasty and sweet watermelons, and the sense comes with experience. So there is a reason to train.
