If you cut a watermelon and it looks like this, throw it away immediately
Melons are the most consumed seasonal fruits. Being adored by both children and adults, melons are even recommended during the summer, containing a lot of water and hydrating the body.
That is why it is important to know some important aspects before buying a watermelon, especially since we cannot see if it is perfect without cutting it.
Some of the most important factors are related to the shape, appearance, and color of the tail. First, watermelon must be heavy. When you pick it up and find it harder than it initially seemed, then watermelon is good.
Pay attention to the melon spot. This stain indicates whether the watermelon is ripe or not. So look for the yellow spot on the opposite side of the tail. If that stain is green or white, then the watermelon is not ripe enough. In addition, the shell must be glossy.
Also in order to make sure that the watermelon is ripe, you can tap it with your fingers. If it sounds empty, then the feathers are just right to eat. Also, look for watermelons in a round or oval shape, avoiding those with an asymmetrical shape!
