Six Top Tips for How to Pick Ripe Watermelon:
- It should feel heavy for its size; compare to similar melon.
- Rind shouldn’t have any soft spots, gashes and should be dull and barely yield to pressure.
- A good melon has a symmetrical shape; no matter if round or oval
- Look on the bottom of the melon and you’ll find a discolored spot where melon rested on the ground when was growing. If this spot is light green, the melon is not yet ripe. If the spot is a yellowish-white color, the melon is probably ripe.
- You can also test for ripeness by scratching the surface with your fingernail. A greenish-white color beneath outermost layer of the rind indicates a ripe watermelon.
- If you are watermelon thumper-a ripe melon will sound as if the fruit is hollow. You don’t want to hear a thud or a tone that is high in pitch.
