Here in our country, we do not have to go to the supermarket to buy fruits. We can just go to the wet market and buy them. The vendor would cut the watermelon in half so that buyer can see if it is really ripe. He will even let you taste it before buying. This is for you t make sure that it is sweet and ripe. As per my aunt, you can tell if the watermelon is ripe by looking at its bottom. If it has a yellow or light bottom it is ripe. If the stripes are still very visible around it, it is not yet ripe. You can also tap the watermelon, if it sound hollow, it is already ripe. If it doesn't sound hollow, then it is not yet ripe. I hope this helps you.

Hello Dong! I would like to share my opinion regarding to your concern. To choose a good watermelon is simple. Always assess first before buying it. Check every detail of the fruit. The color, texture, and even the smell. It's really simple to choose a good watermelon as long as you gain the skill of assessment. :)

I like watermelons in the summer too. I can usually get them in the supermarket but there are farms in my area where you can go and choose one too.

I love watermelon but in my house my kids make a mess with it. I buy smaller chunks in order to keep the mess down. Or if we will be outside at a picnic I will buy a whole melon. It is tasty.

Tips for choosing a watermelon from a source I have ever read. - At the opposite pole to pole shaft, there is a circle. Compare the circles. Choose a melon with the relatively small circle among watermelons there. - If there is a section on the surface of the watermelon that was yellow. Choose a melon with yellow relative of the oldest among the existing watermelon.
