  • Even in agriculture there is male and female: with watermelons, the male one is characterized by an elongated shape and a slightly less sweet flavor. The female fruits are more round and have a higher sugar content.
  • Pay attention to the brown spots on the surface: they mean that animals such as bees or lizards have tried to extract the pulp. If there are these small cracks you can buy it: insects are the best connoisseurs!
  • The yellow stain is a sign that the fruit has been in contact with the ground; in this case it is ripe. If you notice instead the white spot is still unripe
  • The petiole is fundamental: if it is too green it means that the watermelon has been picked too early, while if it is dry and clearer it is a sign that the fruit is ready to be consumed.
