5 Tips To Pick The Sweetest Watermelon



Picking a perfect watermelon can sometimes feel like a tough task. Most of the times we end up with an unripe watermelon. No one is blessed with a God-given gift to choose the best from a huge heap of watermelons. But mastering few tips will make you an expert in picking up the sweetest watermelon.



Examine Field Spot



The light-colored patch on a watermelon is known as field spot. This spot was in contact with the ground throughout its growth. If the field spot has a creamy yellow color, then it is a sign of ripe melon. White color field spot indicates that the watermelon was picked way before its time.

Look For Uniform Shape



Choose a watermelon which is of uniform shape. Say no to watermelons with any bruises, dents or cracks. Irregular bumps on watermelon are not a good sign as it shows that the fruit was exposed to uneven amounts of sunshine and water during its growth.

Verify Size



We always tend to choose the biggest watermelon. But what matters most is that watermelon should be heavy for its size. This makes sure that watermelon is ripe and most importantly, full of water.

Check Color



Check the color of the watermelon. Pick up one with dark green color and a dull look. Avoid watermelons with a shiny appearance as it usually specifies under-ripe melon.
