How to choose watermelons?

1, color listening: flower skin melons, to clear lines, deep light clear, black skin melons, to skin color jet black, with luster. No matter what kind of melon, the pedicel and navel are recessed inward (the feature of "beauty melon" is not obvious, as long as the tail is not particularly sharp). The rattan stalk is close to the melon peel and the pedicel is stout green, which is a sign of maturity. Dark brown, shedding hair, curled and brittle, curled beard tip yellow and withered, is not ripe to pick the melon, the stalk has withered, is a "dead vine melon", the quality is poor. Hold the watermelon in your hand, gently flick it with your fingers, and make a crisp sound of "knock, knock". The hands of the melon feel some trembling. It is a ripe melon, which emits a "sudden, sudden" sound, which is a reflection of a relatively high degree of maturity. It is an overripe melon. If it feels like slapping a stone, it is raw melon that makes a "tap, tap" sound. Ripe melons can transmit the vibration from above to the hands of togua very well, that is to say, the more obvious vibrations are felt in the hands of togua, the melons are about ripe.

2. Look at the head and tail: both ends are symmetrical, the navel and the melon pedicle are sunken deeply, and the four sides are full of good melons, while those with large heads and small tails or thick heads and tails are of poor quality.

3. Specific elasticity: thin peel, fragile with fingers, ripe melon, crack with fingernails, soft melon, overripe melon.

4. Hold it by hand: those who are free to float are ripe melons, and those who have a sense of sinking are raw melons.

5. Test specific gravity: those who float upward in the water are ripe melons, and those who sink are raw melons.

6. Look at the size: in the same variety, big is better than small.

7. view shape: the melon body is neat and symmetrical, the growth is normal, the quality is good. The melon body is deformed, the growth is abnormal, the quality is poor.
