1. How to choose watermelon

Method 1: when picking watermelon, if the variety and size of watermelon are similar, you can weigh the weight of watermelon. Then choose a watermelon that is relatively light in weight. This is because when watermelon grows, some of its water will be converted into sugar, making it lighter, but more sugar and sweeter.

Method 2: watermelon can be selected by observing the state of melon stalk. If it's green and fresh, consider choosing it. If it's a little dark and soft, the watermelon may not be fresh. It's best not to consider buying it.

Method 3: it can be selected through melon cortex. When picking watermelon, you can touch the watermelon skin and feel whether the watermelon skin is thin. If you can feel that it may crack with a finger press, then the watermelon is relatively ripe. If the watermelon skin is soft, try not to choose it.

Method 4: you can choose by observing the color of watermelon. Generally, watermelon with green skin will be ripe and sweet.

Method 5: the maturity of watermelon can also be judged by observing the grain of watermelon. The surface lines of mature watermelon will be clear and regular, and the epidermis will be smooth. The lines on the epidermis of less ripe watermelon will be relatively vague and irregular, and the luster of the epidermis will be relatively dim.

Method 6: you can choose watermelon by observing the shape of watermelon. If the shape of watermelon looks more correct and not deformed, the quality of watermelon is better. However, if it seems that the two ends are uncoordinated, one big and the other small, the quality of watermelon may not be good.

Method 7: in addition to the above methods, you can also buy by observing the color of melon skin. Mature watermelon usually has a little yellow skin on the side close to the ground. If it is in other colors, the watermelon is not mature yet. Try not to choose it.

2. How much is a kilo of watermelon

The market price of watermelon varies. The average watermelon is about two to three fifty-one kilograms. But different varieties, markets and selling time will change the price of watermelon. For example, seedless watermelons cost about two to three yuan a kilogram, black beauty watermelons cost one or two yuan a kilogram, and Kirin melons cost five to three yuan a kilogram. Therefore, the specific watermelon price should be checked in the local market.

In addition, the listing season of watermelon will also have a certain impact on the price. The ordinary watermelon normally listed around summer may be about one yuan a kilogram, but if it is listed in winter, the price will rise to three to five yuan a kilogram.
