August is the most favorable time to buy a watermelon. In the southern regions of Russia, harvests are just ripening, and ripe and cheap fruits appear on the markets. You just need to learn how to choose the most delicious and ripe fruit.
Instructions
Step 1
The strawberry spot is the place where the watermelon comes into contact with the soil - it should be yellow, brown or even orange-yellow, but in no case is it white.
Step 2
The presence of the so-called "bee's web". Spiderwebs are brown spots on the skin of a watermelon that are left from the touch of bees when they pollinate the ovary of the fruit. The more often the plant is pollinated, the sweeter the watermelon will be.
Step 3
Shape - it is better to choose a round, spherical watermelon than an elongated oblong fruit.
Step 4
The tail of the watermelon should be dry. This means that the fruit has matured naturally.
Step 5
And of course, when tapped, a watermelon should make a ringing sound, and the skin should be without damage or any plaque.
Step 6
Also pay attention to where the watermelon is sold: you should not buy it along the road, on the side of the road, from trucks or GAZelles.
