HOW TO
Tags: fruit, watermelon, dining, eating
Hey, I never knew exactly how to select a ripe watermelon.. My grandmother used to knock on them and listen.. and my grandpa would just take his knife out and cut a plug out and taste it.. If it wasn't ripe, he would put the plug back in and go to the next one
| 1. | Look the watermelon over. You are looking for a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is free from bruises, cuts or dents. |
| 2. | Lift it up.The watermelon should be heavy for it's size. Watermelon is 92% water, most of the weight is water. |
| 3. | Turn it over.The underside of the watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun. |
