How to choose the right watermelon and not harm the body?
Before you buy a watermelon, think carefully about where you will buy it. You should not buy watermelon in places that are suspicious and unfamiliar to you. Under no circumstances should you buy the product from highways, as they absorb a huge amount of harmful substances during the day. Do not hesitate to ask the seller for a certificate of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision. Remember that watermelons scattered carelessly on the ground have absorbed a huge amount of microorganisms and bacteria, so purchase the product exclusively from the shelves. When choosing a watermelon, rely only on your own taste, as often the seller offers to choose the berry himself. But where is the guarantee that he will choose a juicy, ripe watermelon, and not sell you one that was not sold before you? Do not allow to cut the watermelon when buying, as you do not know the seller's clean knife or not.
When choosing a watermelon, knock on it when you hear a dull sound, know that this is a sign of maturity. If you squeezed a watermelon and heard a crackling, then the berry is ripe and juicy, such a watermelon can be safely purchased and enjoyed. Note the yellowish spot of the watermelon. If the speck is too large, it means that it ripened in poor conditions without direct sunlight, which means that the watermelon is tasteless and dry. Before drinking, watermelon should be thoroughly washed and wiped with a dry cloth in order to avoid the risk of contracting an intestinal infection.
The watermelon should be spherical, dark in color on which light stripes are pronounced. The more contrast, the sweeter the watermelon. Choose medium sized watermelons, as large watermelons are loaded with nitrates that will increase their growth. Pay attention to the tail of the watermelon, a dry tail indicates its ripeness. If you buy a watermelon, you smell a sour smell, it is strictly forbidden to eat it, as it can easily cause food poisoning.
So, choosing a watermelon is not that difficult. The main thing is to be vigilant and not follow the persuasion of the seller. You are the only connoisseur of watermelons, and it's up to you which watermelon is usable!
