Tips for choosing ripe watermelons with red flesh, sweet, and paper-thin flesh
Here’s how to pick a perfectly ripe watermelon: 1.Check the Sugar Spot – A small, dry, slightly sunken sugar spot indicates ripeness. Avoid large or moist spots. 2.Look for Uniform Color – A deep green rind with consistent coloring is best. 3.Feel the Weight – A ripe watermelon should feel heavy for its size. 4.Tap for a Hollow Sound – A deep, hollow sound signals ripeness, while a dull sound suggests it’s underripe. 5.Check the Field Spot – A yellowish spot means it’s ripe; white or green indicates it’s not ready. 6.Inspect the Rind – A smooth, unblemished rind suggests freshness, while deep cuts or soft spots may indicate spoilage. Use these tips to enjoy a sweet, juicy watermelon every time!
