When picking a watermelon in summer, look at the bottom of the melon first - bring home one that is big and sweet

Summer arrives so quickly, and all kinds of fruits suddenly appear before our eyes. Eating more fruit not only beautifies you, but also replenishes the water your body has lost. When shopping for fruit at the supermarket, you always end up dazzled by the choices, and sometimes the fruit you buy tastes really bad. So today I will teach you a trick that guarantees the watermelon you buy is super sweet, and the more you eat, the more addicted you get!

1. Watermelon

Watermelon truly lives up to its name as being super full of water. It is rich in various vitamins the human body needs, and in the hot summer it is a must-have wonder for cooling off and quenching thirst!

For summer, watermelon is truly indispensable! More importantly, picking a good melon that is big, round and sweet really feels great. Here I will teach you a trick on how to pick a good melon!

How to pick a watermelon:

1. Look

When picking a melon, it is not hard to see that the crooked, lopsided ones that are neither round nor big must be poorly developed melons, and definitely do not taste good! Whereas those with clear stripes on the body, relatively round, and with fresh green vines - no need to guess, this is definitely the good melon you are looking for! Bought and taken home, it is sure to be a good melon with high sweetness and plenty of water!

Although they are all watermelons, the varieties differ from one another. But no matter how things change, the essence stays the same - watermelons are still best when big and round. A big, round watermelon shows that it grew well and had plenty of nutrients, so its taste will certainly not be bad!

When looking at a melon, first look at the melon's bottom! When a watermelon is ripe, the stem node is small and slightly sunken. At the same time, this also shows that the melon grew healthily throughout its entire growth process!

2. Listen

As a child, when I saw adults buying watermelons, they would always tap them with their hands a few times, and at the time I thought this behavior was really strange! It turns out there are several explanations for this. The "peng peng" sound when tapping a watermelon means it is perfectly ripe; a "dang dang" sound definitely means it is not ripe; a "pu pu" sound means the melon is overripe!

3. Weigh in hand

To be honest, I have seen people lift a melon to weigh it in hand. Gently weighing the melon in your hand, a ripe melon will feel very light and seem to float upward; whereas an unripe melon is obviously very heavy.

Here is the most suitable method for lazy people to pick a good melon! Pick a watermelon that looks pleasing to the eye, directly pick it up and weigh it in your hand a few times, and happily choose the lighter one - that is a fully ripe melon! Compared this way, it saves a lot of trouble.

2. Dragon fruit (pitaya)

The nutritional value of dragon fruit is somewhat special; it is itself rich in plant albumin and anthocyanins, and its vitamin content is also very high. It truly deserves to be the best fruit for children and pregnant women

Actually, sometimes dragon fruit feels really strange. Its fruit truly has a lot, a lot of seeds, which do not look pretty, but they can indeed be eaten completely! Dragon fruit seeds also have the effect of improving memory!

Truly sweet dragon fruit all carries a kind of natural plant aroma. A well-ripened dragon fruit has very high nutritional value. Let me teach you how to pick a ripe dragon fruit

How to pick dragon fruit:

1. Leaf color

When picking dragon fruit, the freshness of the leaves and their color can easily reveal how ripe the dragon fruit is. A ripe dragon fruit is bright red and vivid, and at the same time its leaves are glossy green! Any with wilted, dull, lusterless leaves - just ignore them directly and do not buy them either. In short, just pick the ones with red skin and green leaves~

2. Look at its shape and feel

What you do not know is that a round, short dragon fruit is healthy and ripe, with a more delicate texture and more sugar! Although this kind of dragon fruit does not look very pretty, it is certainly delicious!

3. Check the feel

Actually, when picking dragon fruit, you only need to gently squeeze it to know whether it is ripe. If it is soft, it is definitely overripe, and its taste will naturally not be fresh; a medium soft-and-firm state is best, and at this time the texture is at its best; if you find it feels a bit hard, it is most likely not ripe yet, and buying it is not recommended.

3. Grapes

Grapes contain the most vitamin C, and are also rich in glucose, with a very good anti-aging effect. Eating more grapes can effectively promote gastrointestinal digestion

The good and bad of grapes

A well-ripened grape's own rich sugar content can fully provide the glucose the human body needs, quickly replenishing blood sugar. Round grapes with a purple color are the sweetest and most delicious! It just depends on how you pick them!

How to pick grapes:

1. Those with white frost have higher sweetness

When grapes are ripe, they wear a layer of white clothing, which shows that at this time the grapes are sweet enough and fresh enough. That white layer of bloom on the surface does no harm to the human body at all, and it is fine to eat it.

2. Look at the stems

If you want fresh and healthy grapes, besides looking at the color, the color of the stems attached to them is also very important. If the grapes have fresh green stems and leaves, they are absolutely full of water!

When buying grapes, first choose the round, plump ones, and by the way lift them with your hand; if they give a firm, solid feeling, then they are definitely fully ripe, healthy fruit. If they lift up loose and scattered, buying them is not recommended.

3. Look at the color

When buying grapes, be sure to go for ones that are purple to the point of being black and shiny! Those with a round, lustrous color have plenty of sugar and are full of water. If a whole bunch of grapes has the same bright luster, then you have picked the right ones! If the colors are uneven, it may be a sunlight issue, and they will be sour; if you want a sweet-and-sour taste, you can try their flavor.
