Choosing a great watermelon is surprisingly easy once you know what to look for. Here’s the ultimate quick guide to picking a sweet, juicy one:
🍉 1. Look for the Field Spot (the yellow patch)
-
This is where the melon sat on the ground.
-
Creamy yellow = sweet and ripe.
-
White or pale = underripe.
🍉 2. Check the Webbing (brown spider-like lines)
-
These marks show where sugar leaked out while the fruit developed.
-
More webbing = sweeter watermelon.
🍉 3. Knock Test
Give it a gentle tap:
-
Hollow, deep sound = juicy and ripe.
-
Dull thud = overripe or mushy.
🍉 4. Shape Matters
-
Choose a uniform shape (round or oval is fine).
-
Irregular lumps = uneven growth → may affect texture.
🍉 5. Weight Test
Pick up a few melons of the same size:
-
Heavier = more water = juicier.
🍉 6. Check the Stem (if present)
-
Brown and dry = ripe.
-
Green = picked too early.
🍉 7. Avoid These
-
Soft spots
-
Cracks
-
Oozing sap
-
Large shiny areas (often underripe)
