Expert Tips: How to Pick the Perfect Melon Every Time
Choosing a perfectly ripe and sweet melon can often feel like a gamble at the supermarket, but a recent video by nutritionist Júlia Farré offers valuable insights to ensure a delicious pick. Farré, director of Centro Júlia Farré, shares five key indicators for selecting the best melons.According to Farré, the first step is to assess the melon's weight; a heavier melon for its size suggests more water content and ripeness. Secondly, the melon should feel firm to the touch; a soft melon indicates it is overripe. A simple tap can also reveal its quality: a hollow sound signifies a good, ripe melon.Farré also advises consumers to look for a significant yellow spot on the melon's skin. This mark, she explains, indicates that the melon spent ample time ripening on the ground under the sun, contributing to its sweetness. Finally, in a lesser-known tip, Farré highlights the existence of 'male' and 'female' melons, distinguishable by their skin patterns. 'Female' melons, characterized by circular striations near the stem, are often considered sweeter. With these expert tips, consumers can confidently select a juicy and flavorful melon for their summer enjoyment.
