How to choose a watermelon:

Listen to the sound, put your ear close to the watermelon, tap the watermelon lightly with your palm or flick it with one finger. If it is a ripe watermelon, it will make a "bang bang" sound, if it is an unripe watermelon, it will make a "dang dang" sound, if it is an overripe watermelon, it will make a "puff puff" sound. You can also put the watermelon next to your ear and squeeze it gently with both hands, and the ripe watermelon will make a cracking sound.

Multiply by weight. If there are two watermelons of the same size, the ripe one will be lighter. Moreover, ripe melons will float when placed in water, while unripe melons will sink.

Judging from its shape, you should choose a watermelon with smooth skin, obvious lines, and a well-proportioned shape. Watermelons with pointed or crooked heads are definitely not delicious. Pay special attention to the bottom of the watermelon, which should be full around the edges and have a deep depression in the middle. The vine on the head of the melon is best when it is green; others such as black, brown, and yellow are not tasty.

If you touch the surface, the melons with smooth and hard skin are generally better, while those with soft and sticky skin are not good.

Look at the watermelon flesh. The most delicious ones are light red, sandy and rich in water. Watermelons with white flesh are not delicious, and watermelons that are ripe and dark red are not delicious either.

It depends on how many seeds the watermelon has. Generally speaking, watermelons with many seeds are not tasty, and it is too troublesome to spit out the seeds, but watermelons without seeds are not very tasty either. It is recommended to choose a watermelon with fewer seeds.

Choose watermelons by region. I don’t know about those from abroad, but among domestic watermelons, those from Xinjiang and Hainan are the most delicious.
