Hereâs how to pick a perfectly ripe watermelon:
1.*Check the Sugar Spot* â A small, dry, slightly sunken sugar spot indicates ripeness. Avoid large or moist spots.
2.*Look for Uniform Color* â A deep green rind with consistent coloring is best.
3.*Feel the Weight* â A ripe watermelon should feel heavy for its size.
4.*Tap for a Hollow Sound* â A deep, hollow sound signals ripeness, while a dull sound suggests itâs underripe.
5.*Check the Field Spot* â A yellowish spot means itâs ripe; white or green indicates itâs not ready.
6.*Inspect the Rind* â 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!
