Juicy, sweet, aromatic and ripe melon is one of many people's favorite treats. This melon contains a large amount of magnesium, iron and potassium. It also contains vitamins C and P.
Eating melon is an excellent thirst quencher, significantly lowers blood cholesterol levels and is an excellent sedative. In order to get all the benefits of this product, you need to know some tricks when choosing it.
The best place to buy melon is in a supermarket, shop or official market. It is in these places that it undergoes the necessary sanitary checks, it is stored in the necessary conditions, and the risk of poisoning with a spoiled product is significantly reduced.
The danger is fraught with the acquisition of melon, which is sold on the highway or along passing roads, since the fruits are distinguished by excellent absorption of toxic substances and heavy metals.
The melons should lie on a special pallet, but not on the ground. This product does not have a very dense skin, so it should be intact, free from dents, spots or cracks. You should never take cut melons and do not let the seller cut them in front of you, as its pulp becomes an excellent breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms, due to its high sugar content.
Before buying, you need to sniff it. Ripe fruits always have a very pleasant aroma with a subtle hint of vanilla, pear, honey or pineapple. If the melon has no smell, or smells like green, then it is better not to buy it - it is unripe. There is a pattern: the higher the temperature outside, the richer and more pleasant the melon aroma.
