Did you ever wonder what to look for when selecting Watermelons? Here are a few tips to select the best Watermelon!
Oval or round watermelon that is a uniform size is ideal.
The heavier the watermelon, the sweeter it is! It also means it will have more water content.
Look for an orange creamy field spot on the bottom. The darker yellow field spot usually means it was on the vine longer and is full of flavor.
Larger “webbing” or “sugar spots” means that the melon is seeping out sugar and is usually the sign of sweet melon. The webbing is a natural sign of pollination from bees.
When the melon has a white field spot or is shiny, it is underripe.
