1. Decent sellers and points of sale of watermelons
Buy watermelons in stores or specially equipped outlets. Avoid buying melons on the highways, from trucks, gazelles or from the trunk of a Zhiguli. Watermelons quickly absorb any harmful impurities.
2. Confirmation of permission to sell watermelons
Do not hesitate to ask the seller for a trade permit and invoice to verify the quality of the goods, their sanitary and other certification, and the place of origin.
3. No halves of watermelons
Don’t buy halves or slices of watermelon, even in stores. Harmful microorganisms are quickly formed on the cut berries.
4. A good watermelon is a whole watermelon
Don’t let the seller carve out a slice of watermelon to demonstrate ripeness. A watermelon, a knife, and the seller’s hands can be dirty. And at home, wash the watermelon thoroughly, even better with a special product.
Do not leave the cut watermelon on the table, but be sure to store it in the refrigerator.
5. Watermelon is not food for small children
Do not give children under three years of age more than one or two slices of watermelon. Not because you will have to change diapers more often, but because in large quantities it can cause indigestion and even abdominal pain in the baby.
6. Watermelon is not for all eaters!
For people with blood sugar problems, it is better not to overuse watermelon – eat it for health, but not whole a day!
Those who suffer from kidney or bladder diseases should also not get too carried away with watermelons: they have an unconditional diuretic effect, which means that the load on the system for excreting fluid from the body increases.
7. Watermelon – a means of fighting obesity
Due to its ability to remove fluid from the body, watermelon is perfect for people who monitor weight. One day only on watermelons, and minus 2-3 kilograms are guaranteed to you. Nutritionists add that in this way, toxins will also be left from your body.
8. Choose large watermelons with a yellow spot
Buy a large, but not giant, watermelon. The larger, but lighter, the watermelon, the more ripe it is. The spot on the side should not be very large and the more yellow the better. A white spot is a sign of nitrates.
9. A watermelon with a tail is a good watermelon
The tail of a ripe watermelon is certainly dry. And the halo underneath is keratinized.
10. Knock and squeeze watermelon when shopping
A ripe watermelon resonates under shock, and when tapped, it emits a clear sonorous, not a dull sound. When pressed with both hands, the peel sags slightly and cracks.
11. Strong watermelon skin is a good sign.
The peel of a ripe watermelon is difficult to pierce with a fingernail if you did it easily and smell the freshly cut grass – the watermelon is unripe.
12. White fibers, the cut sparkles
In a cut watermelon, the fibers running from the core to the crust should be white, and the cut surface should sparkle with grains. If the surface is glossy and the fibers are yellow, the watermelon is nitrate.
13. Eat watermelon before meals
Don’t eat watermelon as a dessert after a hearty meal. It is better to eat it an hour before meals or 2 hours after. Then peace and tranquility will reign in your stomach.
