YELLOW PATCH - bigger the patch the longer rippen on the ground; the uglier the better. WEBBING - more webbing, more sweet. DARK SPOTS - sugar seeping out. Ive been picking the prettier ones all these years. Now we know.GREAT TIPS! Thanks to you!! 💗 👍👀👍

Yep. These are excellent tips. It actually is good if it sounds hollow instead of dense too. The yello spot is the spot on the ground away from the sun, and not the spot in the sun. It's pale because it doesn't get direct light.

@@hichizarai in theory it makes sense because the rate of photosynthesis would be low and lower chlorophyll which is used to trapped sunlight during photosynthesis. There’s no fool proof method, I’m pretty sure those cracks aren’t from pollination. They are most likely a result of scarring from being scratched against something in early growth but I take chem not bio so idk about the second one. I find the tapping method has been most effective and fun, but it’s an accumulation of experience as the the perfect balance between a hollow and ‘flat’ sound is different for every body

The yellow patch is called the ground spot. It's where the melon was in contact with the ground and, yes, it's the best way to choose a watermelon. It should also feel heavy for its size. Thumping means nothing.

@Dominic7449

8 ай бұрын

Some say thumping matters, others say it does, so either you are wrong or their wrong

When I pick a watermelon I do use some of these. I go for one with a big dark yellow spot, well defined light/dark green lines and one that sounds super hollow when I hit it. But I have never gotten one with a black/brown spot especially with the juice crystallized on the outside, that means something got into it or hit it and I don’t want more germs inside of my watermelon because watermelons don’t just leak without some sort of hole in it. The yellow spot has nothing to do with the sun though, that’s where that part of the watermelon was on the ground for a long time, was probably there longer than others allowing it to ripen more and become sweeter. I’ve also never heard of the “webbing” having anything to do with pollination… if the watermelon grew it was pollinated, has nothing to do with how many insects went to that flower before the fruit grew. Pollination happens waaay before the fruit even grows, so there’s no possible way you could ever tell how it was “pollinated” other than knowing it was because you’re eating the fruit.

Thank you so much for sharing this I was recently in a conversation with a neighbor about how to pick the best sweetest and crunchy watermelon and neither of us knew the answer(s).

Nice tips! I always knock to listen for hollowness and check it’s weight to see if it feels heavy for its size.

That is not where it was in the sun, it is where it was touching the ground, not getting light so the chlorophyll didn’t develop.. You want to get the one with the orange, or as close to orange, as possible. That means it spent longer in the field ripening.

All of the explanations for her tips make no sense. How does pollination cause scaring on a fruits surface? Pollination only needs to be successful once for a fruit to start developing. More pollination makes no difference in watermelon sweetness. Also sugar seeping out of a fruit would trigger pests and indicate rotting. If dark spots meant sugar was seeping out of the fruit, stay far away from it, that's a rotten fruit! Her tips may correlate with sweet watermelon but her explanations are bullshit.

Thank you!!!!! I’ve always wondered how to pick the best one.

See that the tendril (the twig that connects to the creeper) is dried and tap the melon a few times for a sound of full echo not a hollow one and you have picked up a sweet one. All those scars and patches might not be on all watermelons.

That watermelon looks so good I’ma try that now 😁

She started picking up watermelons that I'd presumably touched and throwing them on the floor, going "well we can't sell THIS because you touched it...we can't sell THIS, or THIS..." She had to be physically removed by security. I did get my watermelon 🍉 and I know what happened wasn't my fault and had nothing to do with me or watermelon, but I still feel terrible about the whole thing...that poor girl...
