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.
