Most people are obsessed with this delicious and refreshing fruit. Sometimes we think that unless you\u2019re an experienced farmer, buying a juicy, tasty, fully ripe, and sweet watermelon is hit or miss. However, it doesn\u2019t have to be if you look for a few things when you\u2019re picking out your melon. In fact, you can tell whether a watermelon is ripe without actually cutting it.\n</p><p>Today, we would like to share some tips from experienced farmers that will help you to choose the finest watermelon ever.\n</p><h3>Look for the field spot\n<figure style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/fad%5C/002%5C/3fd5965a9d8b9945d9114a52d8.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"325\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>\u00a9 O.Bellini \/ shutterstock.com\n<p>The yellow spot, known as the field spot, is the place where the watermelon rested on the ground. Ripe watermelons always have creamy yellow or even orange-yellow spots, not white.\n</p><h3>Look for \u2019webbing\u2019\n</h3><p>These weblike brown spots on the watermelon mean that bees touched the pollinating parts of the flower many times. The more pollination, the sweeter the fruit is.\n</p><h3>\u2019Boy\u2019 and \u2019girl\u2019 watermelons\n</h3><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/995%5C/404%5C/b7e4cc56518e0183e42d871527.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>Many people do not know that farmers differentiate watermelons by gender. For example, \u2019boys\u2019 are bigger, have an elongated shape, and a watery taste. The \u2019girls\u2019 have a rounded shape and are very sweet.\n</p><h3>Pay attention to the size\n</h3><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/083%5C/3c4%5C/0e14865bb5bbcb479f29ee6e7d.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>It is better to choose neither the largest nor the smallest watermelon. Select an average-sized fruit. And note, please: large or small, the watermelon should feel heavy for its size.\n</p><h3>Inspect the tail\n</h3><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/f47%5C/c04%5C/4a8f905dd4b23490d2b5636fc1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>A dried tail indicates that the watermelon is ripe. However, if the tail is green, it probably means that the watermelon was picked too soon and will not be ripe.\n</p><p>Source: Brightside\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Who doesn\u2019t love watermelon?
