Watermelon Picking: Knocking and Knocking, just Start Winning!

Check the shape. You want a watermelon that’s symmetrical and free from weird lumps or dents. Odd shapes usually mean it didn’t get enough sun or water, which messes with the flavor. Pick it up. The heavier it feels for its size, the juicier it’ll be. Always compare a couple of similar-sized melons and go with the heavier one. Flip it over and look for the field spot. A creamy yellow spot means it ripened in the sun. If it’s white or missing, skip it. The color should be a deep, dull green—not shiny. Shiny means it’s probably under ripe. Give it a tap. You’re listening for a deep, hollow sound. If it sounds dull, it’s not ready. #WatermelonTips #FruitHacks #SummerSnacks #Food #Cooking
