Watermelon is a fruit that contains a lot of water and is very suitable for consumption in hot weather. What I want to share with you this time is some ways to tell if a watermelon is sweet or not, just by looking at its appearance, without looking at the color.

1. Look for brown streaks.

Some watermelons have brown spots and cracks on the skin, which look like the flesh has hardened. These watermelons are good for picking. This is because the brown spots are caused by bees pollinating the flowers that will become watermelons many times. The more pollinated, the sweeter the fruit.

2. Find the yellow squares.

You may have seen these yellow spots on the skin of some watermelons. These are the areas where the watermelon meets the ground, and when ripe, they are yellow, orange, etc. If they are not ripe, they are white.

3. Look at the size.

If you have to choose from a large number of watermelons, you should not choose the largest or smallest watermelon. You should choose a watermelon that is not too big or too small. Also, if the size and weight of the watermelon you choose are not consistent, you should choose another one.

4. See watermelon male and female.

Many people, except for farmers, don’t know that watermelons have male and female fruits. Simply put, male watermelons are larger and have an elongated shape. They are juicy and usually not very sweet. Female watermelons are round in shape and have a very sweet taste.

5. Look at the watermelon stalk.

This is the easiest way to tell if a watermelon is ripe or not. You should look at the stem of the watermelon. If the stem is dry, it is considered ripe, and if the stem is green, it is not ripe. Green watermelons are fruits that have been picked early from the tree before they are ripe.
