Tips for choosing ripe watermelons with red flesh, sweet, and paper-thin flesh

Here’s how to pick a perfectly ripe watermelon:

1.*Check the Sugar Spot* – A small, dry, slightly sunken sugar spot indicates ripeness. Avoid large or moist spots.

2.*Look for Uniform Color* – A deep green rind with consistent coloring is best.

3.*Feel the Weight* – A ripe watermelon should feel heavy for its size.

4.*Tap for a Hollow Sound* – A deep, hollow sound signals ripeness, while a dull sound suggests it’s underripe.

5.*Check the Field Spot* – A yellowish spot means it’s ripe; white or green indicates it’s not ready.

6.*Inspect the Rind* – A smooth, unblemished rind suggests freshness,

while deep cuts or soft spots may indicate spoilage. Use these tips to enjoy a sweet, juicy watermelon every time!
