How to purchase a good Watermelon?


There are several ways to check the quality of Watermelon before purchasing. Remember the simple points noted below while you’re purchasing a Watermelon.

  1. The colour should be dark green and the skin should be firm without any soft spots or cracks. When you look at the watermelon, it should be a deep green colour without any blemishes or soft spots. The skin should be firm to the touch, and you should not be able to press your finger into it.
  2. Give the watermelon a tap, it should sound hollow, not dull. You can tell if a watermelon is good by tapping it gently with your knuckles. If it sounds hollow, like a drum, it’s good. If it sounds dull or flat, the Watermelon is not good to purchase.
  3. Pick up the watermelon, it should feel heavy for its size. Good watermelons are mostly water, so they should feel heavy for their size. When you pick up the watermelon, it should feel substantial, as if it’s full of water.
  4. Check the bottom of the watermelon where it was resting on the ground while growing, it should have a creamy yellow spot, not white or green. This spot should be smooth and even in colour, without any green or white areas.
  5. Look for a symmetrical and uniform shape and size. A good watermelon should have a consistent round or oval shape, without any lumps or bumps. It should also be a similar size all over.

By checking these things, you can tell if the watermelon is good and ready to purchase before buying it.
