Are you a fruit lover? If you are a fruit lover, I assume that you love watermelon too. Watermelon is something that many people enjoy. Good watermelons are juicy and it just feels good when you eat it before or after a meal. Also, drinking a watermelon juice on a hot day will drench your thirst. You can get watermelon anywhere, from supermarket to your local grocery stores. But do you know how to choose a good watermelon? If you have no idea, let me share with you some tips to find ripe and juicy watermelons.

When buying a watermelon in supermarket, you risk getting a bad melon. Finding a good watermelon is not hard - you just need to know what to do and look out for:

1. Bring the watermelon close to your ear and thump it. This is the most common way to find a good watermelon. The objective of doing this is to listen for a hollow sound. If you hear a hollow sound, it means that the melon is ripe. If you get a more solid sound, it means that the watermelon is not ripe yet.

2. Look at the stripes of the watermelon. A ripe watermelon has fairly uniform green color stripes. If the stripes really stand out, it means that the watermelon is not ripe yet.

3. Look at the size of the melon. Do not choose small watermelons. Watermelons that are not ripe are usually smaller in size because they were picked too early. Pass on those that are noticeably smaller than the others and pick on those that have average size.

4. Look at the bottom of the melon. If the bottom of the watermelon is yellowish or white, it is ripe.
Finding good watermelons require instincts and experience. As you buy watermelon more often, you will know how to pick the good ones and ignore the bad ones.

One thing to note is that a watermelon will not continue to ripen once it has been picked off. It is not like other types of fruits where you can wait for a few days to let it ripen. If the melon is unripe today, it will be unripe after a week too. Therefore, it is important for you to know what to look out for when buying watermelons so that you buy the ripe and juicy ones. Hope that you have learn some tricks from this article. Happy shopping!
