How to choose watermelon? Is there any difference between different varieties selection methods?

Choosing watermelons is skillful, and different varieties are slightly different, but in general, the selection methods are similar.

(1) Look at the color.

Although there are many varieties of watermelons, the skin color is different. Some are dark, some are bright; Some have dark green wide stripes, and some have narrow stripes; Some are walnut patterns, some are pineapple patterns.

No matter what particle it is, no matter how dark its skin is, when we choose watermelon, we just look at its luster.

Mature watermelon skin will naturally glow with a unique luster, just like a thin layer of candles and varnish, with a bright and round luster.

(2) listen to the sound. Mature watermelon will form a certain cavity inside the watermelon because of the expansion of the cell wall, and it will make a specific sound when it is struck evenly.

When listening to the voice of watermelon, people usually flick it with their fingers, and some people pat it with their four fingers. If the sound you hear is rich and dull, it is a mature melon. If the voice is crisp or there is no response, it is mostly raw melon.

(3) Touch the watermelon gently with your hands. Ripe watermelon skin feels smooth and soft.

According to legend, some folk masters can accurately pick ripe watermelons when they are blindfolded or can't see their fingers at night. In fact, because the surface of mature watermelon feels smooth, he completely judges the maturity of watermelon by hand feeling.

Practice has proved that the maturity of watermelon can be judged by hand feeling, but this skill requires some experience.

Take a look, clap twice and touch three times. No matter what kind of watermelon it is, as long as you master the above three identification methods and make a comprehensive judgment, you can buy a mature watermelon.

Early-maturing watermelon will be on the market soon. The temperature of 36 degrees Celsius yesterday was really suitable for buying a watermelon, then putting some water in the well, freezing it for a while, and then eating it often. For me, watermelon is the official opening mode of summer. My family used to grow watermelons every year. Now that my parents are old, I will not continue to grow watermelons on a large scale. A few years ago, for the whole family to eat watermelon, we planted more than a dozen watermelon seedlings in our garden. After planting watermelons, you need to know when the watermelons will be picked, that is, what kind of watermelons are delicious.

However, the earliest watermelons on the market now are mostly small-quality watermelons. The price of these watermelons is relatively high, generally 4-5 yuan a catty, or even higher. Therefore, watermelons just listed really can't afford it. I bought watermelons myself, when watermelons were on the market, when the weather was hot.

When watermelons are on the market, there will be many small trucks pulling a load of watermelons to sell on the roadside. In fact, I think watermelons bought in such places are fresher. However, because watermelons here vary in size, it depends on your own experience to choose delicious watermelons. Here, based on my own experience in growing and buying melons, I will talk about how to choose sweet watermelons.

First look at the appearance. One thing to pay attention to here is not to choose those watermelons that are not round, that is, those watermelons that are not round. Although there is a saying in rural areas that "crooked melons and cracked dates taste better", I personally think that when buying watermelons, don't buy crooked melons. Because those watermelons that don't grow well are generally pollinated. This kind of watermelon will have more white gluten, which will affect the taste of watermelon.

Besides the geometric length of watermelon, we also need to look at the navel of watermelon. Here we usually choose watermelon with small and round navel. This kind of watermelon is pollinated well and grows well in the later stage. Generally, this kind of watermelon is sweet. Here we need to look at the watermelon skin, which has the luster of white wax. Generally, watermelons are relatively fresh.

Second, listen to the sound. This method is a necessary skill for many people who buy watermelons. Even if you don't understand, you should learn to pat the watermelon gently or knock it with your knuckles. Although this method does have a certain effect, some people who don't often buy melons really can't say it. When we knocked on the watermelon, there was a crisp thump, which indicated that the watermelon was ripe.

Third, directly pick and cut melons. When buying watermelons, many people will ask the boss if they are ripe, and the boss will usually say yes. Then, after selecting the watermelon, we can directly let the boss cut it on the spot to see if it is ripe. This method is the most direct and the best.

Hello, everyone, this is A Hao, a creator of high-quality food and a post-90s generation who loves food very much.

I'm glad to be invited to answer this question. How to choose watermelon? Is there any difference between different varieties selection methods? Before choosing watermelon, it is necessary for us to know which varieties of watermelon there are.

Summer is here, and the May Day holiday is coming to an end. Where does everyone spend their holidays? Do many people still stay at home? Then why stay at home? It's not because I have no money, nor because I have to work overtime, but because it's really impossible to go out to play in the current weather, hahaha.

The furnace-like weather is so hot that people are upset. The only thing that makes us happy is to eat a watermelon taken out of the refrigerator. That smell is the word "cool". However, many friends who buy watermelons may not choose when buying watermelons. They happily bought a watermelon, cut it open, and were extremely disappointed. So A Hao will teach you how to choose the sweetest and most delicious watermelon today.

First, black beauty

This kind of watermelon is also one of our most common watermelon varieties, and it is also the watermelon that all of us eat the most. It is oval in shape, small in melon shape and pure black in skin. As the name implies, she is a black beauty. This kind of watermelon is not only red in flesh, but also tender and juicy. Take a bite. It's full of watermelon juice.

Second, honey treasure

Honey treasure is also called too dark. This watermelon is spherical. Its skin is dark green. When ripe, there is wax powder on the surface and the flesh is crisp, sweet and juicy. Another feature of this watermelon is its thick skin, which has the advantage of convenient transportation, but it is a loss for our consumers. We bought a big watermelon, and the skin accounted for most of it, hahaha.

Third, seedless watermelon.

Seedless watermelon itself is not seedless, but refers to watermelon without seeds in the fruit, which is triploid seedless watermelon. This kind of watermelon is the best. Because there are no seeds, you can eat them in big mouthfuls without worrying about eating them in your stomach. However, the low survival rate and slow healing speed of grafted seedless watermelon seedlings are common problems in current production, which restrict the development of seedless watermelon production and cause huge economic losses to melon farmers. This also leads to the low yield of this variety of watermelon, so the price of seedless watermelon will be slightly more expensive than other varieties of watermelon.

Fourth, especially Xiaofeng.

I wonder if you have heard of this kind of watermelon. I believe that few people have eaten this kind of watermelon. The melon in Texiaofeng is very small, but it is sweet and crisp, and the skin is very thin. The biggest difference between Texiaofeng and other varieties of watermelon is that the flesh is yellow. This kind of watermelon is the most famous in Xinjiang, Lanzhou, Gansu, Dezhou, Shandong and Dongtai, Jiangsu. Its original species may come from Africa, widely cultivated in tropical to temperate regions of the world, and then introduced to China.

Moreover, the yield of this variety of watermelon is relatively low, and it will be more common in the general fruit-turning season. From the appearance, it is not as deep as other watermelons. If you look closely, you can't see its pattern at all. Its appearance is smooth. But one of his characteristics is that his meat is yellow. Sugar is no less than other watermelon varieties, and it tastes good.

These are just four varieties of watermelon. In fact, there are many varieties of watermelons, which are common and frequent. In summer, watermelon is our first choice fruit, and we usually buy the whole one, so choosing watermelon has become our problem. Here I'll share some tips for choosing watermelons.

~ ~ How to choose watermelon ~ ~

Now that we know how to choose watermelons, the next step is to prepare to eat watermelons. Because we are used to buying whole watermelons, we can't eat them all. At this time, how to preserve watermelon becomes the key. If it is not well preserved, watermelon is easy to breed bacteria and eat bad stomach. Here's how to save watermelon.

Watermelon is rich in nutrition and high in water content, and bacteria multiply very quickly. It is not easy to preserve after cutting. Some people cut the watermelon, eat half of it, cover the other half with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. This can't be done. You can't eat it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it for a long time, you should pay attention to the following three points.

First of all, you must clean the watermelon before cutting it, then dry it before cutting it to minimize the invasion of germs. Many people don't have the habit of cutting watermelons, so they cut them directly, so we should form the habit of washing watermelons before cutting them in the future.

Secondly, you should know how much you can eat before cutting watermelon, so that when cutting watermelon, you will immediately cover the leftovers with plastic wrap. You can't wait until you finish eating watermelon and then seal it with plastic wrap, which is very unfavorable for the preservation of watermelon.

Third, when we seal watermelons with plastic wrap, we must seal all watermelons with plastic wrap. We can't just seal the incision and put it in the refrigerator. This will extend the storage time of watermelon to about one week.

Fourth, when we put watermelons in the refrigerator, we should try not to mix them with other things, especially if we can't finish eating the rest of the food, which is very unfavorable to the preservation of watermelons.

Summary:

In this hot summer, nothing is more comfortable than iced watermelon. I believe adults and children like this kind of fruit very much, but watermelon is delicious, but you can't eat too much, just a moderate amount is the best.

Well, that's my view on this issue. If you still have different opinions, please leave a comment below. Finally, it's getting hotter and hotter now, so everyone should drink more water.

Because of different varieties, watermelons are divided into thin skin and thick skin, and different methods must be adopted according to different characteristics.

First, listen to the sound. Generally, most people can tell whether it is a good watermelon by listening to the sound. All kinds of watermelons can be judged by listening to the sound. Different watermelons make different sounds because their skins are thick and thin.

Second, most people

People think that if the bottom of watermelon is yellow, then it must be mature. In fact, many times, because there is no sunshine at the bottom of the melon, it may turn yellow when it is three or four minutes ripe.

The really correct rating method is

1 Look at the color and listen to the sound to see if the watermelon is smooth, the pattern is clear, the watermelon grain is obvious, and the bottom of the watermelon is yellow, which is a ripe melon. If there is fluff on the surface of watermelon, the yellow color of watermelon is dim, and the lines and patterns of watermelon are not clear, this is immature watermelon. Judge whether a watermelon is ripe, the sound of banging is ripe, and the sound of banging is not ripe. Hearing the muffled sound proves that the watermelon is ripe.

Watermelon is mature when its petals are green. if

Watermelon is dark, fluffy and crunchy. Pick them before they are ripe, and the petals are all dry. This is a dead vine. This kind of watermelon is of poor quality.

3, look at watermelon head and Wei, both said, good-looking, watermelon around the surface is full, is a good watermelon. Watermelon head has a small big tail or watermelon head has a thick pointed tail, both of which are poor quality watermelons.

4, more elastic than watermelon, thinner skin, fragile melon cooked with your fingers. Watermelon is soft and ripe.

When you weigh the watermelon by hand, it feels like a ripe melon. If the watermelon weighs heavy, it is proved to be a raw melon.

Hello, I'm Bodhi, and I'm glad to answer your question.

How to choose watermelon

First look at the pedicel of watermelon.

When buying watermelons, first look at whether the pedicels of watermelons are fresh. If it is withered or black and yellow, don't buy it This shows that watermelon has been picked for a long time, or it is simply a dead melon.

Second, look at the circle at the bottom of the watermelon.

Look at the small circle at the bottom of the watermelon. If it is big, it means that the melon skin is thick and the taste is not good. If the circle is small, it means that the watermelon skin is thin and tastes good.

Third, look at the color.

Look at the color of watermelon. If the color of watermelon looks a little white, then don't. If the color of the melon skin looks clear and black, it can't be wrong.

Fourth, look at the appearance.

When you buy watermelon, you can judge it by its appearance. Some watermelons of the same variety are long and grotesque, so don't choose them. It is best to choose melons with symmetrical shapes.

Fifth, if it doesn't work, cut a piece and try it.

The above is my personal opinion, I hope it will help you.

It's getting hotter and hotter now. Watermelon has the function of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. It's time to eat watermelon again, so when buying watermelon, how can we choose a sweet and delicious watermelon?

Let me share with you my method of selecting watermelons, which is simple and practical.

First, when choosing watermelons, we must first look at the appearance.

In a pile of watermelons, choose the long symmetrical ones first. Symmetrical watermelon is generally thin-skinned. If it is crooked watermelon, even if it is ripe watermelon, its face is half white and it is not delicious.

Second, when selecting watermelon, touch it with your hands, and the skin of watermelon is slippery but not slippery.

Pick out the watermelon with good appearance, hold it in one hand and touch it back and forth with the other hand to see its smoothness.

Generally, the skin is smooth and basically ripe. If you feel astringent or slightly burr when touching it, it means that it is not cooked well and you must give up.

Third, look at the melon land.

(1) See if the pedicels are fresh. If the pedicel is fresh, the watermelon is newly picked. If the melon wilts, it means that the watermelon has been picked for a long time, or it was picked from a dead seedling. Don't choose this kind of melon, even if it is cooked, it won't taste good.

(2) See if the joint between pedicle and watermelon is sunken. If it is concave, it means it is ripe, and if it is not concave, it means it is not ripe.

Fourth, look at the flower pedicle.

Similarly, the melon pedicle is concave, indicating that the watermelon is ripe, and vice versa.

Five, clap with your hands.

Hold the watermelon in your hand and pat it with your other hand.

(1) Listen to the sound. If you hear the watermelon "bang", it means it is ripe; If it makes a "poop-poop" sound, it means it is not ripe yet.

(2) by feeling.

Holding a watermelon in one hand and patting it in the other. When shooting, the hand holding the watermelon can feel the other hand shooting through the watermelon, which has a transparent feeling. Explain that watermelon is ripe, but it is not ripe without transparency.

According to these methods, you can basically pick out ripe and sweet watermelons.

Do you have any other ways to choose watermelon? Welcome to leave a message in the comments section. Let's learn a better way to choose watermelons.

The voice is crisp,

The voice is plain and familiar!

The hot summer is coming, and watermelon is the most seasonal fruit in summer. It can not only clear away heat and relieve summer heat, but also whiten teeth and replenish human moisture. But do you know what kind of watermelon is the best and what kind of watermelon is the sweetest? As a veteran melon eater, let me tell you how I choose watermelons. As long as you remember this sentence, you can pick the watermelon you want.

Take a look. What do you see? You must remember that you need to look at five points. First of all, look at the whole, whether the shape is symmetrical, whether there are scratches, to ensure the natural growth of watermelon, no trauma. Secondly, see if the stem of watermelon is still green. If it is green, it proves that it has just been picked and is still fresh. If the stem is even black, it is necessary to pay attention to how long the watermelon has been stored and whether it has deteriorated internally. The next step is to look at the navel. The size of the navel is related to the batch. The first batch of melons are smaller, because they grow on the top and are the best to be taken care of. The navel of the second batch of melons will be bigger, the care will be less and the skin will be thinner. So when choosing melons, you can choose the second batch of watermelons, because the second batch of watermelons will be sweeter because of more sunshine. Then look at the melon lines, the melon lines of mature watermelons will be scattered, while the melon lines of immature watermelons will converge, but it depends entirely on your own cognition. There is also a saying in the watermelon world that the lines are gathered, the watermelons are raw, the lines are open and the watermelons are ripe. Therefore, when choosing watermelons, it is necessary to choose that the lines are open, and it is best not to buy them if they are not open, even if they are sweet. Finally, look at the color. When choosing watermelons, many people will choose a light green watermelon. Actually, this is not right. When buying watermelons, choose yellow watermelons. Generally, this yellow watermelon is the part that touches the ground easily. During the growth of watermelon, there will always be some on the ground, so it will appear yellow, but the whole green watermelon is somewhat abnormal, so it is best not to buy it. These five points have been confirmed, and basically "good goods" have been selected.

"Secondary weighing" means weighing. Weigh what to do and judge the proportion of watermelon. A good watermelon will be heavier, because the weight of watermelon means that it is full of water and mature enough. This is not only useful for selecting watermelons, but also useful for selecting cantaloupes.

"Three knocks" means knocking watermelon. This technology is difficult to master. Knock the watermelon hard with your knuckles, and then listen carefully to the sound of the watermelon. Mature watermelons generally make a brighter sound. Sweet and crisp watermelon has a crisp sound, similar to the crisp sound made by touching porcelain. Watermelon in mortar also has a crisp sound, but watermelon in mortar is not as loud as sweet and crisp watermelon. If you choose a watermelon, it sounds boring and feels a little soft, then the watermelon is either leaking or broken, and it is not a good melon anyway.

As long as you master the method I said, you can also eat "good melons" in hot summer. Secondly, the varieties of watermelons are different, but the above methods are still useful.

The dull knock on the melon sounds familiar. Looking at the watermelon butt,

Pat it with your hand to see the pattern of the melon.
