Buying watermelon is like a gamble. It's good luck to get salt and red watermelon. If you also want to buy red and sweet watermelon then this report is for you.
Everyone likes sweet and juicy watermelon. Even in summer, watermelon attracts everyone. Because, it is not only tasty but also good for health. Juicy watermelon contains about 92 percent water, so it helps in keeping the body hydrated and has many benefits.
A problem arises while buying watermelon, because the first thing we ask the shopkeeper is whether it should be sweet and red or not. If we ask for it and buy it, not every watermelon is necessarily sweet, so we must know how to identify it.
In this report we will tell you the trick to choose sweet and red watermelon. By following these tips you will get the watermelon of your choice. After reaching home, you will not regret cutting the watermelon into pieces, because by keeping a few things in mind, you can differentiate between sweet and red watermelon without cutting it.
Tap the watermelon – The easiest way to identify sweet and red watermelons is to tap them, which means touching the watermelon and listening to the sound. If it is ripe and sweet, it will have a deep sound, but overripe watermelons have a hollow sound. Whereas tapping raw watermelon will reduce the sound. In this way watermelon can also be identified by its sound.
Pay attention to the color of the watermelon – While buying watermelon, always check its color. Never buy a dark green watermelon, as it may be raw or cold inside.
To buy good ripe sweet and red watermelons, look for yellow and spotted watermelons. Actually, wounds occur in the field on ripe watermelons. Because watermelon takes a lot of time to ripen and it remains lying on the ground, hence its color becomes yellow there.
Identification will also be done by weight – While buying sweet and red watermelon, you should also pay attention to its weight. Some people have this misconception that lighter in weight and bigger in size watermelon is better, but it is not so, small watermelons can also be good and sweet, but their weight should be more. The heavier the watermelon, the more water it contains, meaning it will be more juicy.
Also check the color of the stem – Most importantly, local watermelons are available for consumption only during the summer season. To identify a fresh watermelon, you can also look at its stem. If you find a watermelon with a green stem, do not buy it, as it is not fully ripe.
If you are going to harvest it after 2-4 days of purchase then you can buy it and it will be ripe by then, but if you want to cut and eat it on the same day then you should buy watermelon with brown and dry stalk. Which are ripe and sweet.
