Simple tricks: How to choose a ripe watermelon
1. The first thing you should do is pick up the watermelon and feel its weight. If the watermelon feels heavier than it is, it is probably ripe.
2. When you have found a watermelon that feels heavy, you can tap gently on the skin. If the watermelon then sounds a bit like an echo and empty, it is probably ripe.
3. In one place on the watermelon it will probably be a little more yellow, that’s where it lay in the soil before harvesting. The smaller the yellow spot, the riper the watermelon.
