How to buy Watermelon | 6 tips

6 tips to buy sweet & juicy watermelon 🍉🍉
1.Look for uniform shape. Look for a firm, symmetrical watermelon free from bruises, cuts or dents. If the watermelon has any lumps or bumps, this may mean that it received irregular amounts of sunshine or water during growing, causing dryness or inconsistency.
Watermelons come in different sizes and shapes that vary from round to oval to elongated. They can all be a good choice.
2. Check the color. A perfect, ripe watermelon should be dark green in color and dull in appearance, rather than shiny. A shiny watermelon will usually be under ripe.
3. Lift it up
A sweet and ripe watermelon should feel heavy for its size. This usually means that it’s full of water and therefore juicier.
4. Check the field spot or ground spot
If you turn a watermelon you should find a yellow spot, which is also known as the field or ground spot.
This spot shows where the watermelon rested on the ground before being picked up.
A large, yellow spot indicates that it spent more time ripening on the vine and should be sweeter.
On the contrary, a whiter spot suggests that it was picked too soon and didn’t reach peak ripeness. Since watermelons don’t continue to ripen post-harvest, choosing a watermelon with a whiter spot means you will most likely end up with a not so sweet one.
If the field spot is white, or even nonexistent, this probably means that the watermelon was picked too soon, and will not be ripe.
5.The tapping technique
Another way to check the ripeness is by the sound a watermelon makes when you tap with knuckles.
A ripe one delivers a deep and hollow sound, whereas an underipe sounds high pitched and solid
6. Webbing on watermelon :
In order for the watermelons to grow, bees have to pollinate flowers on the watermelon plant. This brown webbing is actually scarring that occurs due to the pollination. It's a good thing. The more brown webbing there is, the sweeter watermelon will be!

Watermelons are kinda small if you picked it up with one hand. In TX, you have to pick them up with two cause they weigh atleast 15 lbs
