5 tips that will help you choose a delicious and juicy melon

We all know how to choose a watermelon well. Before we buy them, we usually tap them with our fingers to check if they are ripe, but how do you choose a melon?

Markets and shops are full of melons, and their smell immediately entices you to buy one and take it home. But how to choose the right, juicy and delicious melon?

Smooth-skinned yellow melons, also known as "Pineapples," are generally believed to be sweeter and juicier than rough-skinned ones, which are believed to be "meatear."

Since when you buy watermelon and cantaloupe you cannot know for sure that you have chosen a juicy and tasty fruit, below we will tell you some tricks that will help you be more confident in your choice:

Choose a cantaloupe that has the correct spherical shape and is medium in size, neither too big nor too small.

At the same time, pay attention that its weight corresponds to the size. If the melon is too large and light, then it is most likely an overripe fruit that will not be juicy.

The bark should be clean, without blemishes or dents. Melons that show big changes in color usually do not taste good and are hard.

 

When you press it a little at the stem, you should smell the melon. A strong smell means it's overripe, and if you don't smell it, it means it's not ripe enough.

If it is not ripe enough, you can leave the melon for a day at room temperature and it will be ripe enough to eat, and if it is overripe you will have to throw it away.
