How to Pick a Sweet and Ripe Watermelon?

Source: Healthline

1. Lift a few  watermelons and check for the heaviness of the watermelon for its size. If the Watermelon is heavey for its size, it indicates that it is full of water and therefore it is juicy!
2. Look for the field spot.  A large, yellow spot indicates that it spent more time ripening on the vine and should be sweeter.
3. The Tapping Technique; Another way to check the ripeness is by the sound a watermelon makes when you tap or slap it. A ripe one delivers a deep sound, whereas an overripe one sounds hollow or flat.
4. Assess its firmness: A ripe watermelon should have a firm rind that doesn’t give to pressure and is not easily scratched.
5. Check the watermelon’s tail (that is a piece of stem that remains attached after harvesting). A dry stem usually indicates a ripe watermelon.

I remembered my Parents teaching me how to pick a sweet and ripe watermelon by using tip# 1 the heaviness of the watermelon and tip#3 the tapping technique using my hand. Tip#2 is the new technique that I learnt lately. All the above tips really help you pick the BEST Sweet and Ripe Watermelon.

Watermelon has so many health benefits. Watermelon is a healthy fruit. It contains high water content an delivers so many other important nutrients including lycopene and Vitamin C. Watermelon is a tasty and low-calorie treat. I remembered going to IT Services Department in my company an saw a few co-workers on Watermelon Diet. Each of them eat the whole watermelon for lunch and no other food. This helps them lose weight.
