Tips to pick a perfectly ripe watermelon

Picking the perfect watermelon

Choosing the perfect watermelon can be tricky and it’s always disappointing when you bite into one that just doesn’t have that sweet flavor.

So, here are some tips you can use to pick a perfectly ripe watermelon.

  • Look for one with a smooth rind. It should be firm and symmetrical, free of bruises and dents.
  • When you pick it up, it should feel heavy for its size (This means there’s plenty of water in the melon.)
  • Check out the bottom of the melon — the spot where it sat on the ground. It should be a creamy yellow color, not white or green.

After you’ve found your perfect melon, you can eat it as a snack, add it to your salads (like cucumber watermelon salad with feta!) or even make a hydrating summer drink by adding it to your regular water. However you choose to enjoy eating watermelon, it’s sure to make you feel better and more energetic.
