Watermelon season
Melon season starts from May to September of each year, but picking begins in mid-June to late August. Making it an ideal choice for summer in the northern hemisphere.
There are several ideas on how to select melons mature correctly. I always use the style beating strongly and is very successful.When hitting watermelons by clicking the middle finger from thumb on watermelon, melon sound should occur collisions. Watermelon rind must be pale and waxy bit (knowing that most watermelons waxy crust), and you should be a little soft, and it is best to have the root attachment with the watermelon, Brown and dry.
But that was too lenient and watermelon you can press one of its aspects, it means that this part of the watermelon is corrupt, even if its been rotten. Rotate the watermelon must be the same without flat sides and feel heavy size. Also must be the bottom of the watermelon where the color pale yellow not green or white.
Information on storage
Watermelon will mature and soften slightly at room temperature but not much. Melon fresh tender before maturity will result in a complete and mature flavor.
Must be all the watermelon in the refrigerator more than a week. The refrigeration damage at temperatures below 40 degrees.
But when you find the watermelon in the refrigerator section is becoming a liquid inside then became corrupt.
If you buy from the watermelon section, look for the bright red and ripe with dark brown or black seeds. Unless the group free of seeds.
Knowing that the abundance of white in the watermelon seeds mean it I picked before its time.
Avoid buying watermelons that contains white lines on its skin or her body, and avoid buying watermelon sliced dry or soft.
The melon must be tightly coiled section, file and used within a few days.
