Many people have no idea how to select a watermelon. They just knock on this over-sized fruit as if they know what they are doing, it may be good to use, but is it difficult to master the knocking technique.

1: look for the webbing.
These web like brown spots on the watermelon means that bees touched the pollinating part of the flower many times. The more pollination the sweeter the fruit.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. ’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.

5. 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.
Healthy foods, healthy lives.

Interesting. By the time you finish this inspection and procedure, the seller would have become weary of you. Good tips though.
