How to choose Elizabeth melon

1. Peel color

In fact, color can fully represent the sunlight, maturity, sweetness and other conditions of fruits and vegetables. Choose the dark yellow color as it will be sweeter. If the fruit skin is golden yellow, don't buy it. Most of them are raw melon eggs, which will not be sweet and have a bitter taste.

2. The taste of fruits

Everyone knows that fruits and vegetables will emit different smells when they grow to a certain extent. You can smell it at the end of the melon. If it has a strong sweet smell, then it is definitely sweet. If the smell is very light, the melon inside will not be very sweet. Consumers who don’t like too sweet food can also choose this type.

3. Weight

There is a correlation between water content and weight. If a melon is very large but not very heavy, no one will buy it. If the melons are similar in size, you can choose them by weight. A heavy melon must be very watery.

4. The hardness of the melon

Some ripe melons will become very soft. If you want to eat them right away, you can choose a melon that is not too soft. If it is too soft, it may be rotten, so if you don't know how to choose, you should buy a firmer one. This kind of Elizabeth melon is often fresh and juicy. Don't use too much force when picking it. The skin of the melon is very thin, and too much force will damage the appearance of the melon.
