How to Pick a Sweet and Juicy Watermelon
A perfectly sweet and juicy watermelon is the ultimate summer treat. Whether you’re slicing it up for a refreshing snack, making a fruit salad, or blending it into a thirst-quenching drink, choosing the right watermelon is key. Here’s a foolproof guide to picking the best watermelon every time.
1. Look for the Field Spot
The field spot is the creamy yellow patch on the watermelon’s surface where it rested on the ground as it ripened. A deep yellow or golden field spot is a good sign of sweetness and full ripeness. Avoid watermelons with white or pale green spots, as these are likely under-ripe.
2. Check the Weight
Pick up a few watermelons of the same size and compare their weights. A sweet, ripe watermelon will feel heavier than it looks, as this indicates it’s full of water and juice.
3. Inspect the Skin
The rind of a ripe watermelon should have a dull appearance, not shiny. A shiny surface often means the fruit is underripe. Also, look for a firm, thick rind that’s free from soft spots, cracks, or bruises.
