Three tips for finding the best watermelon
When you're looking for a good ripe watermelon, remember the following three tips:
- The watermelon should feel heavy. Choose a watermelon that feels surprisingly heavy when you pick it up. This means it contains a lot of liquid and is therefore ripe and not dull and dry.
- The watermelon should sound hollow. A ripe watermelon will sound hollow when you tap it.
- The watermelon should have a yellow spot Look for a watermelon with a large "yellow belly", which is the yellow area where the watermelon has been lying and absorbing nutrients from the ground.
Also, remember to wash your melon before you cut it - even if you don't eat the rind! There can be bacteria and viruses on the melon's rind, so it should be washed thoroughly before you put the watermelon on the cutting board.
TIP: try too Mexican chicken with watermelon salsa or a meal salad with watermelon and toasted feta
