Little correction. As someone who has grown watermelons. The yellow spot is actually the opposite of being exposed to sunlight. The yellow spot (or sometimes white spot : avoid those they're watery) is the part of the watermelon that was laying on the ground while growing. The green comes from photosynthesis which can only happen with sunlight. The spot doesn't get that, so it isn't green and instead it's yellow or white
@@NotYourLaila Yeah. But it's a common misconception. I've hear a lot of people saying that, but I guess that's what happens. One person says something that's wrong, someone else hears it and then there's misinformation all over. But it's fine. In this case it was just a watermelon after all
I work in produce and everyone has an opinion on what makes a good watermelon. Other than what she said about choosing a dense watermelon that feels heavy (juicy) it is not really feasible to choose a sweet watermelon from it's exterior. I used to have to cut them for sale and identical watermelon from the same bin could have totally different interiors. It's honestly luck of the draw but scarring on the outside and a lopsided shape absolutely do not effect the taste so don't turn down your nose at an "ugly" watermelon. It's just a waste. We throw away too much "ugly" food in the US and it's all perfect for eating!
Yeah I don't think she is correct (the yellow spot is just wrong information), but it's good that people are buying ugly food and not wasting it because of her :)
Yellow - orange field spot - sweet White field spot - no taste Round and heavy - sweet Elongated - watery Large webbing - sweet Small webbing - no taste 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉 🍉
Wait, what?? Yellow patch is where it was NOT getting sun, it’s the area where it rested on the ground while growing in the vine. That’s why it’s not green there, no light. What the….
Yes, this is the second time I’ve heard her say that on a video and she was called out then too. The yellow rests on the ground, but she is right that the yellow is a good indication of ripeness.
I think the yellow patch it's actually were watermelon was actually sitting in the ground. My family grows watermelons every summer and as as long as I remembered the yellow patch was on where it touched the dirt.
Hey! I love your videos! I just wanted to let you know that the yellow part is actually the side that was lying on the ground. It means that the watermelon was able to ripen while it was still on the vine. That’s why it tastes so good!
Now ma’am don’t make me go to the supermarket and see watermelons and think “hm I should really get the ugly one!” -20 minutes later turns out to be nasty
The less water, the sweeter 😊 I know you aren’t growing your melons, but I thought you might like the info. You are supposed to cut down on watering the melons after a certain point because the more water the melon has, the more watery the flavor is! Everyone has their own preference though, as long as it looks and tastes good I’m going to eat it
Tried that yesterday, went to Costco and bought the ugliest, with a biggest yellow patch and it’s tasted bad. I was so disappointed. Guess I can’t ever pick a good watermelon 😭
Did you look for a black spot cause the same thing happened with my mom but apparently if it had a lot of scares and a black spot then it’s good not just a yellow spot but idk
You don’t want a big yellow patch. That’s where it has been sitting. I look for one that is darker in color than whiter in color for the spot. And the green. Darker the seeeter because photosynthesis was happening and it was making more sugar
Ugh it happens sometimes. I'm a believer of: when it's in season, they'll mostly all be good, but when it's not in season, no matter how many tricks you've got up your sleeves .. you're more likely to get a bad one.
@@jessicagronick7711 haha confused by your comment. It's in season and you bought it 2x and it was delicious,.. but you also said you had no luck .. contradicting comments.
@@pr3ciousara I am sorry. 😅 a few days ago I bought some melons and these were the ones with no flavour. Yesterday I bought some again and these were perfect. 😅 I hope its better for the understanding now🤣
Naw. It's usually where a vine or stem has been over it. Like it bloomed and as a tiny melon it developed under the vine. Melon/ pumpkin/ squash vines are very rough/prickly things and will be slightly pokey. I wear gloves and long sleeves while digging through the patch as I have very thin skin and the prickles irritate my hands and skin. Lots of times you will not find these types of fruits in supermarket as most people won't buy one with "flaws" even tho they are 100% fine. Some of the best tasting tomatoes will never been found in stores as they are so homely looking. Lumpy and bumpy and weird shaped and we haven't even gotten to the colors. Lol. I grow a purple tomato with green shoulders and its slightly lobed so its never perfectly round. It has thin skin so it doesn't ship well but the flavor when you eat it is pure heaven. Rich and juicy with the right amount of sweet and savory umami. But is the color of a wicked bruise lol Okay im heading to the kitchen. Lol. Oh its black brandywine. I have pink brandywine too which is a lovely rosy pink color
So after her last short about picking a watermelon I looked for all of those signs. I ended up with the most tasteless watermelon I have ever picked in my life. And half of the watermelon was nothing but watermelon rind. I followed all the steps sister! 😡
I went with my mom food shopping, she said the yellow wasn’t the best kind but I said it’s better. We ended up getting one with a big yellow patch and turns out to be the best watermelon we’ve ever tasted.
Basically she didn’t place that wisdom where it belongs but if we listen to everything else she said we be eating good watermelons so I ain’t gonna judge this book by one missing page 😂
@@cherrysoyaa8933 not really, for watermelon you want it to be juicy and sweet, the stuff that makes watermelon sweet is fructose- which is colourless or white and can be dissolved into water. The stuff that make watermelons red is lycopene, which is completely separate from fructose. Having high lycopene doesn’t cause high fructose.
doesn't judging a book by its cover means you look at something, for example ugly then you think it's ugly all the way isn't it opposite here it's ugly but she didn't think it was ugly all the way
What? The yellow spot is yellow because that part has been facing the ground. The reason the melon is green is because of photosynthesis, photo as in “light”. Presumably the spot starts off a paler colour and gets more yellow as the fruit ripens, but it’s not because it’s hit by the sun, if anything it’s the opposite. The webbing isn’t from bees pollinating the flower. The fruit grows from behind the sepal, the bees don’t even touch that area. The webbing is scarification likely from damage caused by external forces, or maybe even growth. Not bees…
There was this elderly farmer that used to live on our street, he lived alone and he would distribute watermelon, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, etc...whatever was in season, he'd just drive house to house giving them and talking a bit then leaving...heard he left back to Philippines when he got sick, dont know what happened, it's been almost 20 years.

the yellow patch is where it's been sitting on the ground, indeed the bigger it is the more it sat to ripen, but it's not from the sun
Exactly
Yes!!!
Ripening faster that's all and it more juicy
Hi where are you from am from Nassau Bahamas and you
The watermelon : Thank you mam....i have been neglected for ages....
People can be the same. They may appear to look different on the outside but they could be the sweetest person ever.
Her:"Don't judge a book by its cover"
Also her 2 seconds earlier : this is the ugliest watermelon i have ever picked out 💀
watermelons prove that its not the outside that matters, but the inside
The yellow patch is not because is been sitting in the sun. That part actually is touching the soil
Her: "this must be the worst melon I've ever picked out.
Watermelon: "and you must be the ugliest person ever"
This is definition of Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Wait, what?? Yellow patch is where it was NOT getting sun, it’s the area where it rested on the ground while growing in the vine. That’s why it’s not green there, no light. What the….
Yep! It’s yellow because it’s been on the vine longer. Definitely not from sun!
Yes, this is the second time I’ve heard her say that on a video and she was called out then too. The yellow rests on the ground, but she is right that the yellow is a good indication of ripeness.
that's what she's saying, that's where it's sitting when its out in the sun. She didn't say that's where the sun is hitting.
I think the yellow patch it's actually were watermelon was actually sitting in the ground.
My family grows watermelons every summer and as as long as I remembered the yellow patch was on where it touched the dirt.
I come from a farming family and you are hundred percent correct. Yellow is where it was sitting on the ground not facing the sun.
It pains me to see people eating warm watermelon
Maybe it’s cold who knows
How do you know its warm 💀
"Ugly watermelon delicious on the inside" grl thats a life lesson
The yellow patch is where it has been sitting on the ground!! Not sitting in the sun.
Correct
The watermelon has a great personality 💀
“Don’t judge a book by its cover” in the beginning the most ugliest watermelon ever
That hollow crisp sound when you tap means it’s going to be sweeeet
the yellow patch is just false 😭 thats where the watermelon gets no sunlight bc photosynthesis produces the green color
That watermelon is the true definition of beauty on the inside lmfao
First rule of healthy eating...don't call your food UGLY.

Watermelon: and i took that personally
It’s funny I always tell people to always pick out the perfect looking ones so I can get these ones for myself lol
That wasn't ripe enough. It was a very bright pink, but the darker red it is, it's sweeter.
Don't judge a watermelon by it's skin...
It's like people sometimes the ones who are "prettier "on the outside aren't really sweet on the inside
Watermelons are just like humans

i believe you want to stop watering about 10 days before you harvest. you can do the same thing to make peppers hotter and tomatoes sweeter as well.

The yellow was the part that was sitting on the ground the longest, my grandmother use to grow them.

It's in the webbing, more webbing the sweeter it is♡
