How to choose melon

In our lives, the fruit with the most varieties is probably muskmelon. The colors of this fruit are also varied, including white, green, golden yellow, etc. In addition to being called muskmelon, we also call it cantaloupe and sweet melon. Because this fruit tastes very sweet, we call it muskmelon. Eating cantaloupe in the summer can help relieve heat, and the nutritional value of cantaloupe is very high. It can replenish our body with minerals, vitamins and sugars in time. However, we need to remember that we must make careful selections when purchasing cantaloupe.

If you want to choose a cantaloupe with a better and sweeter taste, this is a science. Only by choosing a cantaloupe with a good taste can we be happier when eating it.

If the cantaloupe is not sweet, we probably won’t be able to eat it, and may even throw it away, which will cause us certain losses. So how do you choose melon? Let’s find out below.

Tips on how to choose melon:

A cantaloupe has two ends: one with a big round head, and the other small end which is the vine end. The first step is to check whether there are any signs of natural breakage at the connection between the vine and the melon on the small end. There is a saying that when a melon is ripe, it will fall off naturally. If it is a ripe melon, there will be a pit in this place where the melon fell naturally. Otherwise, the unripe melons will still have vines on them when you pick them.

Look at the big head: Press it lightly with your fingers. If it feels slightly soft, it should be cooked. Of course, some varieties of melons have a crisper texture and the head of the melon is harder, so they are not suitable for this picking method.

Smell the big head: Generally, a ripe melon can have a strong natural aroma at the big head. If it is very light or has no smell, it may be a watery melon.

Look at the color: When choosing cantaloupe, you should first look at the color. Waxy yellow is the best. If it is white, the milky white one is the best. When played by hand, it tastes good with a slight vibrato.

When choosing different varieties of cantaloupe, choose the white ones with good fur.

The skin should be smooth and the whiter the better. For Toyota, choose small ones with yellow color and a fragrant smell. For yellow-skinned cantaloupe, choose those with bright skin color, yellow to red or purple. For Elizabeth melon, choose one with a fragrant smell and a yellow color. For Elizabeth with a navel, choose one with a big navel and the navel should be soft when pressed. Smell the bottom of the melon; the one with a fragrance is the delicious Elizabeth.

This is the end of the explanation on how to choose melons. I hope the above introduction will help you choose sweeter melons, so that we can feel more at ease when eating them. As a fruit with very high nutritional value, melon not only has a very sweet taste, but also can replenish the vitamins needed by our body in time, so we can eat it frequently.
