how to pick the right watermelon , that you will enjoy

If you’ve ever walked up to a bin of watermelons and felt totally confused about which one to pick because they seem to all look the same, you’re not alone. It takes a little detective work to pick a good watermelon, but it’s quick and easy. I promise. When it’s time to pick a watermelon, you want to touch, look, and listen. Here’s how to do it.

1. Pick it up: Big or small, the watermelon should feel heavy for its size.
2. Look for the yellow spot: Watermelons develop a splotch where they rest on the ground. When this splotch is creamy yellow, it’s ripe.
3. Give it a thump: Tap the underbelly of the watermelon. A ripe one will have a deep hollow sound, which means it is brimming with juice and at the peak of its ripeness. Under-ripe or over-ripe melons will sound dull.
