I’ve had times where I would pick out a dry orange which is not ideal. In this video, there are four tips on how to pick out a sweet watermelon.

Check the stem

If the stem is green, the watermelon was picked before it had the chance to become ripe. If it’s brown, the watermelon was ripened on the vine.

Yellow watermelon color

Check for the obvious yellow color on the watermelon. If there’s not a yellow spot or a faint white spot, the watermelon did not have enough time to bathe in the sun. The yellow spot means it’s ripe.

Press on the watermelon

If it has a little give to the watermelon, that means the watermelon is ripe. If the watermelon is too hard, with no give, then that’s what you want to stay away from.

Tap the watermelon

This is the tip that most people know, and if it sounds hollow that means it’s filled with water. If it’s hollow, that’s a good watermelon.
