Look at the melon and eat jokes.

When summer comes, the days are long and the nights are short. It takes much longer for the earth to absorb heat than to release it, which makes the ground like a big steamer. Hot people dare not go out easily. Of course, summer also has its advantages. The high temperature and abundant sunshine in summer are conducive to the growth of fruits, such as watermelons, peaches, lychees, grapes, cherries, etc., which are sweet and juicy and really make it possible for foodies to eat.

When it comes to summer fruits, we have to mention watermelon, which is known as the "king of summer". As a representative fruit in summer, it is also worthy of the name. Watermelon is cool and sweet to quench thirst, with water content as high as 95% and sugar content as high as 5 12%. It is a good product to relieve summer heat and cool down. It tastes better after being chilled, and can be eaten directly, or used as dessert and juice, each with its own flavor.

Watermelon is the main fruit in summer, and some people even eat it directly. There are many people in the family, so it is not a problem to eat two or three a day. When you buy watermelon, it is of course ripe and sweet. If it is not sweet or ripe, it is also a very disappointing thing. Most people who buy watermelons usually like to use this method to judge whether watermelons are ripe or not. Although this method is useful, it is not necessarily accurate. The reason for this is the following：

1. I can't tell whether the melon is sweet or not. Does the watermelon have to be sweet when it is ripe? That's not necessarily true. The sweetness of watermelon is determined by the sugar content. The higher the sugar content, the sweeter the watermelon. You can't tell whether the watermelon is sweet or not just by listening to it.

You can't tell if it is overcooked. Watermelon must be delicious if it wants to be delicious. If the watermelon is overcooked, it will not only taste bad, but also taste very bad.

Some watermelons like high temperature and drought resistance, but they are afraid of water. If watermelons are soaked in water, the melons and fruits inside will rot or turn into water, so it is difficult to distinguish watermelons by listening to the sound.

3. Different varieties of watermelons, different skin thickness, definitely make different sounds. We ordinary people only buy those melons a year, which is not much better than those professional melons. Therefore, it is not accurate to only shoot melons with different varieties and different skin thicknesses to listen to the sound.

Here is the watermelon chosen by my wife. I took it over and over again when I bought it. The voice is crisp and ethereal. I heard it was a ripe sweet melon, but when I came back to open it, it was like this. It's really disappointing, so don't shoot it when I buy it. People who can pick will laugh at you and pretend to understand.

Then, it is not allowed to tell the quality of watermelon by shooting it. Is there a reliable way to distinguish them? It's true. I went to an old melon farmer's melon garden to pick melons yesterday. I was afraid of picking bad melons, so I humbly asked Uncle Guanong. He said not to pat melons when picking them in the garden. When you have a ripe watermelon, you will break it with one shot, so you taught me three tricks. Now I will share them with you. Pick watermelon. Don't pat around to make people pretend to understand. Learn these three tricks, and you won't make mistakes when picking watermelons.

1. Look at the melon pattern

Watermelons are generally larger. The first thing printed on the eye window is the melon seeds on the watermelon skin. This kind of melon grain is like the natural "birthmark" of watermelon, which has existed since birth, so the quality of melon can be clearly judged by melon grain.

When buying watermelons, be sure to buy neat rows of watermelons, and the spacing between each row of watermelons should be even and wide, because the rows of watermelons grow bigger and wider as the watermelons grow. The neat melon lines indicate that the growth process is smooth and the nutrients are sufficient, but otherwise.

Of course, if you encounter watermelon varieties with black skin or inconspicuous melon lines, it depends mainly on whether the skin is smooth or hard. The brighter and harder the melon, the better.

2. Look at both ends of the melon

The two ends of watermelon are melon vine and navel respectively. Melon vine is an important channel for watermelon to absorb nutrients, and navel is an important information place for watermelon to grow successfully.

Let's start with melon vines. Guati is an important channel for nutrient absorption. Whether the nutrition is sufficient or not directly affects the quality of watermelon. When you buy watermelon, you should buy melons and vines that are curved and thick, which shows that the nutrition of watermelon is sufficient. Don't buy thin and straight melons. This is generally the same.

Another point is that when you buy watermelon, you should buy fresh vines, which means that the watermelon has just been picked. If it withers or withers, it means that the watermelon has been put for a long time.

How to look at the navel of melon? That is to look at the size and depression of the navel. Generally, the smaller the navel, the deeper the depression, indicating that the thinner the watermelon skin, the higher the sweetness. The bigger the navel, the thicker the skin, the more convex the navel, and the lower the maturity.

3. Watch the melon fall to the ground

Watermelons are generally heavy, so most of them grow close to the ground. The part of watermelon near the ground is also called "melon butt". In the process of growth, because the shade does not accept light, the color is very different from other parts.

"Melon butt" can also tell us important information about watermelon. The greater the growth range of this part, the yellower the color, indicating that the longer the growth time, the more nutrients absorbed and the better the quality. If the "melon butt" is small and the color is light, it means that watermelon is not durable and the maturity is not high. It is best not to buy it.

Watermelon is a must-have fruit in summer. It is not only refreshing, sweet and juicy, but also nutritious. Suitable for all ages. From the above introduction, we know that the method of buying watermelon by patting is not necessarily accurate. Sometimes it's too good to meet a ripe watermelon, which will break and be embarrassing. In the eyes of knowledgeable people, you don't know how to pretend After learning the above three methods, the watermelon you choose will not be bad, and the seller will have to reject it.
