How to recognize good, sweet and healthy watermelon? • DigiKala Meg

Everything was good until my father’s watermelon came out of yellow! I was annoyed, but for most of us we have chosen a colorless and colorless watermelon. These days, as we hear about the high nitrate in some Iranian watermelons, it made me write this. This news is not necessarily true, but if we choose watermelon carefully, we may be in a healthy, juicy and sweet watermelon, with a delicious, colorless and even unhealthy fruit. Here are three simple but effective things to buy good watermelon; In addition, something about nitrate that is better to consider in your purchases.

1. Pay attention to the yellow spot on the skin

Part of the watermelon skin on the floor leaves a yellow or orange stain. The more bold the stain is, the more likely the watermelon is. The white or very pale spot is a sign of early fruit arrangement.

2. Listen to the sound of watermelon

By striking the watermelon slowly, it can be understood. Bam and drum -like sounds are usually a sign of juicy watermelon. In contrast, sharp or choking sound can indicate being calm or dehydrated.
Tip: Some say the sound of watermelon must be bass, some say below. In fact, both of them are the same as the drumming sound that signifies the fruit and juicy fruit.

1. Do not underestimate surface brown lines

Slim brown veins or superficial cracks on watermelon skin are usually a sign of high sugar and appropriate pollination. Contrary to the not -so -beautiful appearance, these signs often come from a sweet and sweet watermelon.

1. Press the watermelon skin a little

If the watermelon skin is too stiff, it may not yet. If it is too soft, it may be broken. The ripe watermelon has a relatively thin skin that shows a mild flexibility with a little pressure – not too stiff, not too soft.

1. Consider the shape of the watermelon

Watermelons that are rounder are usually sweeter and more juicy. In contrast, oval watermelons sometimes have less sweet texture. This difference is not always certain, but it can be a good guide to choice.

1. Care to the watermelon stem

If there is still a thin water watermelon tail or stem, look at it. The stem that is dry and yellow is usually a sign of full fruit care.
But it should be noted that this method is not always reliable; Because the watermelon may have been harvested, but since it has passed for a while, its stem has now dried naturally. So it is best to consider this symptom with the rest of the criteria, not alone.

1. Measure the weight of the watermelon

Good watermelon should be heavier than its size. More weight is usually more hydrated. So if you have doubts between the two watermelons, choose heavier.

Important point: nitrate in watermelon

In some non -resistant or overseas crops, nitrate fertilizers may be used extremist. The remainder of these chemicals can enter the fruit tissue and, in continuous use, may be problematic for the health of sensitive people such as children and pregnant women.

How to detect nitrate watermelon?

• An abnormal red color or too much screaming
• Excess texture
• The presence of thick white veins in the fruit meat

For sure, always make watermelon from a reliable seller and preferably buy it in its natural season (from late spring to the end of summer).

With these simple few tips, you can in addition to benefiting from the properties of watermelon; Have a cool and sweet spring and summer. John!
