In hot summer, it's absolutely a great enjoyment to eat a frozen watermelon in the air conditioning room, but the premise of eating watermelon is how to choose a good watermelon? Today's sihai.com will teach you how to choose a watermelon!
1. Look at the color
Ripe melon is yellow on the bottom; immature melon is dark and hairy on the surface, with unclear spots or lines. It's better to pick green melons instead of white ones.
2. Play melon with fingers
Those who hear "bang" sound are ripe melons; those who hear "Dangdang" sound are not mature enough; those who hear "puff" sound are over ripe melons.
3. Circle
The bottom of the melon has a melon navel, which is a small black circle. Circle big is male melon, circle small is female melon. The smaller the circle, the better. The larger the circle, the thicker the melon skin.
4. Look at the lines
Melon surface lines neat and regular is the mother melon, otherwise is the male melon. The melon body is well proportioned, with normal growth and excellent quality; the melon body is deformed, with abnormal growth and the next highest quality.
5. Look at Guardi
The melon head is the melon head. If it's a straight line, it's a male melon, with many seeds, thick and light taste; if it's curled up, it's a female melon, with few seeds, thin and sweet taste, which is the best choice.
If you look at the green base of the melon, it's a ripe melon; if the handle of the melon is dry, it may be a 'dead rattan melon'; if it's dark brown, fluffy, curled and crisp, and the tip of the curled beard turns yellow and withered, it's a melon picked when it's not ripe. In addition, the two ends of the melon are well proportioned, the navel and the base of the melon are deep, and the ones around are full are good melons; the ones with big head and small tail or thick tip and tail are inferior ones.
II. Precautions for eating melon
1. Do not eat before or after meals
A large number of watermelons occupy the stomach volume before meals, which affects the intake of normal nutrients; a large amount of water in watermelons will dilute the digestive fluid in the stomach and affect the digestion and absorption of food after meals.
2. Eat less ice watermelon
In hot days, eating watermelon in the air-conditioning room can cool and relieve the heat, but it can stimulate the stomach and easily cause spleen and stomach damage. So we should control the temperature and intake.
