You may think that
choosing a great watermelon is up to chance, but there are actually
several ways to spot the perfect watermelon.
Field Spot
These white spots (called field spots) are quite natural. The
field spot is the area where the watermelon rested on the ground. While
every watermelon has a field spot, the best watermelons have
creamy-yellow or even orange-yellow spots. Pick the watermelon with gold
field spots.
Webbing
The webbing of a watermelon indicates the amount of times that
bees touched the flower. The more pollination, the sweeter the
watermelon is.
Boy or Girl?
Maybe you didn’t know, but watermelons have genders. The ‘boy’
watermelons, are taller and more elongated, while the “girl” watermelons
are more round and stout. The boy watermelons are more watery, while
the girl watermelons are sweeter.
Size
The best watermelons are average-sized. Don’t go for too small or too big, but just right. Size matters.
