Ho w to pick the BEST watermelo n
1, Pick a watermelon that does not have any flat spots
and the stem should be dry and brown.
2. The color should be a dull green except for a
yellowish spot where it laid on the ground. If that spot
is green or white, the watermelon is not ripe. If the
watermelon looks waxy and shiny, it is too ripe.
3. And then there is the THUMP! Thumping the melon
should make a hollow and deep echo sound. If it sounds
high pitched, it is most likely not ripe.
