How to Choose a Sweet and Good Watermelon
Watermelon contains about 92% water, which makes it delicious and naturally sweet. Eating watermelon helps cool the body, quenches thirst, and reduces body heat. It also helps replenish lost fluids in the body and makes you feel refreshed and energized.
Watermelon has no fat or cholesterol, and is rich in fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin C. It is very low in calories, making it a healthy and nutritious fruit. Especially in summer, eating lots of watermelon is the best thing to do.
In the past, watermelon was mainly eaten only in summer, but now it is available all year round. If you want to choose a sweet and good watermelon, consider the following tips:
Tips for choosing a good watermelon
(1) Check the bottom of the watermelon. The spots that directly touch the ground (field spots) should be creamy white or yellow.
If white β good
If yellow β even better and sweeter
(2) Look at the shape and stem
A watermelon with a long shape usually has more water.
A watermelon with a round shape usually has a sweeter taste.
If the stem is still very green, it means the watermelon is not yet fully ripe.
(3) Look at the color and stripes
Although the stripes look similar, the older (bolder) the green color usually means it is sweeter.
(4) Look at the shape of the stem
A curled stem usually indicates that the watermelon is sweeter than a straight stem.
(5) Look at the circle at the bottom
Small circle β thin rind
Large circle β thick rind
