What kinds of watermelons are there?

Watermelons look almost the same, but in fact there are many varieties of watermelons. Put different varieties of watermelons together, and you can clearly see the differences.

Today, I'm going to talk to you about the varieties of watermelon. I chose eight varieties that are popular in the market: Kirin melon, 8424, Huaseedless, Black seedless, Black Beauty, Early Spring Redjade, TeXiaofeng, and Ningxia Selenium melon. I hope you can eat melons clearly.

Kirin melon:

A very common watermelon, very common, characterized by a short planting cycle. It only takes 60 days from planting to flowering and harvesting, and the effect is quick. The disadvantage is that the requirements for growth environment, soil and sunshine are very high.

8424:

The official name is Zaojia 8424, also known as Nanhui 8424. It is the 24th excellent variety of 1984 successfully selected by former agricultural experts in Nanhui District of Shanghai, so it is called "8424". 8424 is a medium-sized watermelon with a moderate size (4-7 kg pure watermelon). Its biggest feature is roundness and good taste, which is extremely suitable for planting in the Yangtze River basin. This kind of watermelon is basically eaten in all provinces along the Yangtze River.

Flowers are seedless, black is seedless;

The two seedless melons are almost the same, except that the skin is green, the skin is black (black seedless is more round), and the seedless flowers are basically evenly distributed with 17 wide green stripes. It is worth mentioning that the seeds of seedless melons are produced by cross mutation, not the seeds of seedless melons themselves (actually there are seeds but they are very small).

Black beauty:

Black beauty is very distinctive. It is long, black and oval. When I was a child, I often thought it was wax gourd ... Black beauty's skin is dark black and green. If you look closely, there will be inconspicuous stripes, and the taste is very tight.

Ruby in early spring:

The name is very literary, and the melon is also very distinctive-small. It belongs to small fruit watermelons, each weighing about 2 kg. In addition, like black beauty, it is not very round but oval, with delicate taste and high sweetness, which is more popular with young women.

Tai Xiaofeng:

One of the most unique watermelons-the bag is golden yellow! Not big, a 3-4 kg, between early spring Redjade and 8424. The skin of the extra small peak is very thin and the meat is tender and crisp, but the toughness of the skin is poor and it is not resistant to storage and transportation.

Ningxia selenium sand melon:

Produced in Ningxia Zhongwei, known as the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, it is a "watermelon growing in a crack in the stone". The climate and geographical environment of Zhongwei in Ningxia are very special. Gua Tian's gravel is rich in minerals, and the watermelon planted is rich in selenium. It is the "king of cancer" and has good nutritional value.

In recent years, Ningxia Se-sand melon has become popular and become a "network celebrity melon", such as the watermelon list recently released by Pinduo, which is the champion of both the best-selling list and the praise list. Moreover, Pinduoduo has subsidies for Ningxia selenium melon, and high-quality products also have special labels for QR code safety traceability.
