- How To Choose a Watermelon (Source: California
- Arizona Watermelon Association). There are three steps for
choosing a whole watermelon:
1. Appearance - Look it over. Choose a symmetrical watermelon
that is free of bruises, cuts and dents.
2. Weight - Lift it up. The watermelon should be heavy for its
size.
3. Ripeness - Turn it over. The underside of a ripe watermelon
is yellow and the rind has healthy sheen.
