Examine it to see what a melon looks like. Are there soft spots or cracks? Choose a melon that is not damaged on the outside, without spots or cracks.
Check the color of the melon
A shiny exterior is a sign of an unripe melon. It should be light yellow to light lemon, not green or white.
Melon weight
Compare several melons and choose the one that is heavier than the others. This means that it is fresh and contains enough water. Fruit that has been sitting for a long time begins to dehydrate and dry out, which is a clear indication that it is no longer good.
Tap it with your fingers
It's pretty simple. Just tap the melon with your fingers. If it makes a hollow sound, it has passed the test.
