Eat watermelons, but choose which one

Then go nicely to the fridge now and peek inside. Do you see watermelon in it? If not, it is time to fill this gap. Watermelon is full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. If we consume melon, we are essentially eating and drinking at the same time. The feeling of fullness in our stomachs is such that we may not want to eat anything like melon. By consuming the red flesh of watermelon, we do good to our bodies at many points. Namely:

• due to its high content of vitamin C and the collagen it contains, hair, nails and skin become healthier and more beautiful;
• watermelon is rich in fiber, which has a good effect on digestion. Consuming it can prevent constipation and at the same time reduce the risk of hemorrhoids;
• unpleasant bloating can also be minimized;
• Vitamin A in watermelon can also play a role in visual acuity, but it also prevents the hair from becoming rapidly oily;
• by consuming watermelon meat can prevent the formation of free radicals in the body, the chances of malignant cancers are also reduced;
• strengthens the immune system due to its high antioxidant content.

We already know why it is good to consume watermelon, however, there is nothing more disappointing when the melon does not give the taste we want and expect. Sure, if we don’t understand the selection, we can be very disappointed. By considering a few considerations, the chances of tasteless melons getting under the knife can be reduced.

Things to look out for:

• we are looking for a watermelon whose shape is symmetrical and there is no visible dent or damage. Also pay attention to his shape. The most promising is circular;
• lift the melon and if you feel heavy even though the watermelon itself is not too big, it means good because it shows that it is full of water, which is also needed;
• grab and rotate more melons as well. From the similar sizes, choose the one that is heavier,
• knocking can also be treacherous. A deep sound refers to immaturity, meaning that the higher the sound it makes when you knock a watermelon, the more certain it is sweet;
• the yellow spot on the melon peel indicates that it was in contact with the ground at that point, i.e., it was lying there. The darker that yellow spot, the sweeter the melon can be. If the yellow part is already more whitish, then the melon is not the sweetest because it was picked early;
• the stems of the ripe watermelon are already dry, but those which have been harvested early have green stalks;
• no problem if you find yellow parts on the melon and it’s like it’s mesh because it just suggests it’s surrounded by bees, which in turn means sweet melon.
