Four simple but very useful tips.
1. Inspect the crust
The melon should be free of any cuts, cracks, punctures, or dents.
Bacteria and dirt can enter the pulp through the holes. And obvious dents indicate an overripe fruit or improper transportation.
If there are green spots on the crust, then the melon is immature.
2. Press on the melon
As we said above, severe dents are a bad sign. But the melon should not be too tough either.
When pressed from the back of the tail, the ripe fruit is slightly springy and does not change color.
Too soft peel - in overripe or even spoiled melon, and hard, "stone", which does not crumble at all, - in unripe.
3. Sniff
The melon should smell like honey. Many people also catch notes of pear, pineapple and vanilla in its aroma.
If you do not smell a sweetish smell at all, it is very weak, or the melon exudes a herbaceous aroma, then it is unripe.
4. Weigh the fruit
Ripe and juicy melon will be heavy. If you choose from several that look the same, give preference to the one that weighs more.
