5 Tips to Pick Watermelon

1. Tail

The tail shows how ripe the watermelon is, so be very careful when buying a watermelon. Green tail indicates that the watermelon was picked too early. Dry tail, on the other hand shows that they are just right.

2. Field Spot

The white spots on the watermelon peel are the field spots. If you find fields spot on the watermelon, it indicates that the watermelon was on the ground, and that your watermelon is ripe and sweet.

The color of the spot can be from yellow to orange.

3. Size

Even though many people think the bigger, the better, this is definitely not the case with watermelons. Make sure not to pick big watermelons, opt for the small ones.

4. Webbing

The webbing shows how much bees touched the flower. It is believed that it is best when there is more pollination.

5. Boy or Girl?

Even though it sounds surprising, watermelons have genders. The “girl” watermelon is round and stout while the “boy” watermelon is more elongated than the “girl” one. It is recommended to choose the “girl” watermelons because they are sweeter.
