Tips for choosing the best watermelon:
• Choose melons that feel heavy for their size. This indicates juiciness and a higher concentration of flavor.
• When selecting watermelon, look for melons that have a yellow spot somewhere on the rind. These tend to be sweeter melons. Also choose a rind with a matte appearance. A shiny rind can be an indicator of an underripe melon.
