The Perfect Way to Choose a Delicious Summer Watermelon
Choosing the Best, Sweet Watermelon for Summer!
When picking a watermelon in the summer, most people tap it to judge its ripeness. However, this method isn’t always accurate and can even leave scratches on the melon! Today, I’m sharing a secret technique that guarantees you’ll pick a sweet and juicy watermelon every time. Say goodbye to disappointing watermelons and hello to summer perfection!
Ingredients- Watermelon (as needed)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The key to selecting a fantastic watermelon lies in its underside. Look for a small, circular spot on the bottom of the melon, often referred to as the ‘belly button’ or ‘blossom end.’
Step 2
This ‘belly button’ spot is a crucial indicator of sweetness. The smaller and more tightly closed this spot is, the sweeter and more delicious the watermelon is likely to be! Conversely, if the spot is large and open, the watermelon might be watery and less flavorful. This small detail makes a big difference.
Step 3
Tapping a watermelon can be unreliable for judging ripeness and might even damage the rind. Instead, I always rely on inspecting this ‘belly button’ to ensure I choose the sweetest melon. With this simple trick, you’ll be picking perfect watermelons like a pro in no time!
