- Lift a couple
The watermelon ought to be substantial for its size. Have a go at contrasting the heaviness of your watermelon and another of equivalent size. The heavier one will be riper.
- Search for the field spot
The underside of the watermelon ought to have a smooth yellow spot, known as field spot. The darker it is the better. In the event that the field spot is white or even non-existent, this presumably implies the watermelon was picked too early and won't be ready.
- Review the shading
An immaculate ready watermelon ought to be dim green in shading and dull in appearance, as opposed to gleaming.
