The choice of ripe sweet watermelon is the whole science. Someone upon purchase is guided by a fruit sound, someone - its size and a form, and someone takes the first copy at all. That upon purchase of watermelon further not to be disappointed in its gustatory qualities, I advise to select a fruit at once according to several signs of its ripeness.
Watermelon size
Many consider that the watermelon is larger, the it is more sweet, however it not so. When choosing watermelon give preference to copies of the average sizes (smaller probability that a fruit artificially fed up). An optimal variant - 7-10 kilogram watermelon. Naturally, before purchase examine a watermelon peel: its roughness and a yellowish spot on one of the parties of a fruit says that it ripe and, most likely, sweet. Look for a fruit with the contrast drawing as such copies have sugar pulp.
Watermelon boy and watermelon girl
Many I don't know that watermelons differ by gender. For example, ""boys"" by the sizes it is more, they have the extended form, girls differ in the small sizes and a flat form. At a section the second have small stones. By the way, ""ladies"" - are more sweet.
Tail
When choosing watermelon surely pay attention to its ""tail"", try not to buy copies without it, it is possible to determine ripeness of a fruit by ""tail"", for example, yellow dry ""tail"" says that watermelon ripe, and here green - sign of immaturity of berry.
On knock
It is possible to check a maturity of watermelon and on a sound: ripe fruits at a prostukivaniye make a ringing sound. And still, if slightly to squeeze ripe watermelon, then it will publish hardly audible crash.
