Reading guide: "Eat melons in summer, the body is croaking", in every summer, the melon that my family eats the most is "watermelon", especially after finishing work, eating a bite of chilled watermelon, the whole person is relaxed. Like my family, everyone loves to eat a melon, a family of four, a 10-pound watermelon a day, it's no problem! Watermelon is also rich in nutrients such as "vitamin C, potassium, carotene, crude fiber, iron", etc., eating watermelon properly in summer can "relieve heat and rejuvenation, diuresis and swelling", and people who are often on fire can eat a little more. Although everyone loves to eat watermelon, many people just don't know how to pick watermelon, and they will always buy a few raw melon eggs or not too sweet watermelon every summer, wasting more than ten yuan in vain.
Every summer, I teach everyone how to choose watermelons, and people who look at my method say that the watermelons I pick according to my method are sweet and delicious, and there are never raw melons and eggs. Master Hu's own hometown will be our city's watermelon planting base, every year I will also plant 1 acre of watermelon, can not eat enough to pull to the wholesale market to sell, as a more than 20 years of watermelon planting old melon farmers, no matter what watermelon, I only need to take a glance, I know whether the watermelon is sweet or not! Next, I will share with you the skills of choosing watermelon, keep these 3 points in mind, watermelon is accurate, sweet and delicious!
The first point: look at the melon vine
When buying watermelon, be sure to buy watermelon with melon vine, melon vine can not only judge the freshness of watermelon, but also judge the maturity of watermelon, fresh melon vine, is emerald green, where the melon vine is cut, there is a little water flowing out, and put the long watermelon, its melon vine has dried up, and the watermelon that has been put for too long is easy to drink.
And the melon vine of some watermelons is curved, and the melon vines of some watermelons are relatively straight, and you must buy melon vines with curved watermelons, because as the watermelon matures higher and higher, its melon vines will become more and more curved until it presents an angle of about 90 degrees. And the straighter the melon vine, the lower the maturity of the watermelon, don't buy the melon vine if it's particularly straight, it must be raw melon eggs.
The second point: look at the melon pattern
Insiders see whether the watermelon is ripe or not, the first thing is to look at the texture of the watermelon, because with the growth of the watermelon, the texture of the watermelon will grow more and more open, and there are rules to follow, and there is no ripe melon, the melon pattern is not only relatively narrow, but also the melon pattern is intricate, when buying watermelon, the longer the melon pattern grows, the higher the maturity of the watermelon, and the higher the water content, generally 10 pounds of watermelon, the melon pattern will be at least 1 and a half fingers thick!
The third point: look at Guati
Guati can judge the sweetness and ripeness of the watermelon, as the watermelon grows, the guati of the watermelon will slowly fill inside, if the guati and the skin are parallel, this watermelon is not fully ripe. And Guati is also divided into big Guati and small Guati, melon farmers call the big Guati "male melon", the sweetness of the male melon is relatively low, there are relatively few on the market, 10 watermelons may only be 1-2. The small guati is called the "mother melon", and the mother watermelon not only has a higher sugar content, but also has more juice, so when buying watermelon, you should choose a watermelon that is small and filled inside.
Although watermelon is delicious, it is best not to eat more than 3 catties of watermelon every day, and it is best to eat the watermelon that is opened on the same day, and do not eat it overnight, because there will be a large number of germs in the watermelon overnight, and eating this watermelon is particularly prone to diarrhea.
When you buy watermelon in the future, you must remember to "look at the melon vine, look at the melon pattern, and look at the melon", and master these skills to ensure that you will pick a watermelon in the future, which is sweet and delicious.
