5 Tips to Purchase the Best and the Sweetest Watermelon.

How many times did you purchase a nice water melon but disappointed after slicing it open? How can you look inside a water melon before slicing it open? Wouldn’t it be nice to know the gender of the water melon and how sweet it would be before you decide to purchase one?

If you’re like most people, you could use a few tips when at the market.

Here are five tips on how to pick the ripped and sweet watermelon.

1 Field Spot: Creamy or yellow part of the watermelon that is rested on the ground.

What can that color tell you? It’s almost as if it’s an inside peek, indication that it basked a long time in the sun, ripening. Avoid ones with white spots as the needed more sunbathing time before being plucked from the vine.

2 Webbing: We can thank bees for playing such as important role in this process; their pollination is what kicked things off. Excess pollination will create lots of brown webbing. A large amount of webbing is your clue that the inside is ripe and sweet.

3 Gender. Yes water melon has gender. The tall – or long ones – are males. If the water melon is plum round or stout it’s classified as female. Take a moment to guess which one is the sweetest. It’s the girl! And if it’s a bizarre shape, its’ indicate its growing was not easy process as it probably struggled for sunlight and water.

4 Size: In the case of watermelon the largest ones aren’t necessarily the tastiest. The best ones are average in size. Rule of Thumb; don’t pick one too large or too small.

5 Tail: Taking a final glimpse of the watermelon, we must examine its tail. If it’s green skip it. That is an indicator that it isn’t quite ripe. Instead, go with the one that looks dried.
