How do you determine the ripeness of a melon? How is a melon ripe?

1) color stick logo with 6 7 kinds of color made of slender color stick, when the female flower opens, in the node of the female flower on the ground interval 1 2 days insert the same color of the color stick, after fruit setting, according to the color of the melon inserted color stick, then you can determine the date of sitting melon. When the standard fruit development period of this variety is 40 days, the fruit ripening period days can be obtained according to the setting date of the melon marked by the color stick and the number of days of fruit development period. Of course, it can also be used to sign the melon sitting period, but it is difficult to do it in large-scale production.

The color stick method is simple and accurate, and it is worth promoting.

2) For melon varieties with functional leaves and detached layers, the leaves on the node where the fruit stalk is located (functional leaves) will partially lose green and turn yellow before the fruit is about to ripen; Some European and American melon varieties will have delamination before ripening, and finally the fruit will fall; Functional leaf discoloration and delamination are signs of maturity of this variety.

3) Sensory identification such as hardness, color, and aroma, especially the fruit umbilicus begins to soften, the color is gorgeous, the reticulation is dense or protruding, and the aroma overflows are all ripening information released by the fruit.

1. Calculate the ripening time: there are different varieties of melons, and the maturity time and maturity of each variety are different, about 40 days for the early-ripening Elizabeth, about 50 days for the medium-ripening white melon, and 80-90 days for the late-ripening varieties.

2. Look at the appearance: the fruit will change color when the yellow-skinned melon is fully ripe, and the varieties with reticulation will be prominent and hardened after maturity, which are typical signs of maturity.

3. Touch: Mature melon starch is converted into sugar, which is softer, and when choosing melons, touch the side of the navel with your hands, if there is a soft situation, it is a ripe melon.

4. Smell it: Naturally ripe melons will have a strong fruity aroma, especially in the position of their navel, the fragrance is more obvious, and unripe raw melons have no strong fragrance.

In the hot summer, watermelon is an indispensable fruit. After a busy day, I came home sweating profusely. It's very comfortable to see the big and sweet watermelon in the refrigerator.

There are many types of watermelons, so I will take sweet and crunchy watermelons as an example to share my experience in selecting melons. The first thing to look at is the melon stem. This will give you a clearer idea of whether the melon is fresh or not.

The melon stalks that have just been picked are relatively fresh. Choose the kind of melon with more uniform stripes and darker color. Such melons are sweeter and crunchy.

Gently tap to hear the sound. Sweet and crunchy watermelons have a crisp sound when they are patted. Look at Guati.

If the melon is yellow and round, it means that the melon is ripe and sweet.

Take a look: to see if there are abrasions and scars on the outer skin, this is the most basic. Because some melons are bumped in the skin during transportation, so they are easy to rot, so this kind of melon must not be wanted.

Second smell: Smell it, ripe melon and melon, you can smell a relatively strong natural aroma. As a foodie, I always put the melon in front of my nose and smell it, and when I smell the rich aroma, it means that the melon is ripe and tastes better.

Three: Put the melon in your hand and check it, it is not too heavy to be a ripe melon, and it is very heavy to get started, it must be a raw melon. Then press the head of the melon with your fingers, and you can press it down slightly.

Four knocks: Generally I will put the melon to my ear, knock it, play it, listen to whether the sound is crisp, the crisp sound is good, then it is a good melon, if the sound is dull, it means that the inside is starting to break.

Judging by the time from flowering to maturity, it is generally about 40 days, and you can also observe that when the pumpkin is ripe, there will be a separation between the fruit stalk and the fruit, and the fruit will also have a fragrance, and the surface of the fruit will have a fixed color and pattern after ripening, and the fruit will also have a certain hardness.

If the melon is ripe, the skin is shiny, very bright, the texture is neat, the melon smells very fragrant, you can flick it with your fingers, if it is a ripe melon, the sound is very crisp.

Look at whether the lines are stretched, whether the handle of the melon is raised, whether the melon has a prickly feeling, whether the melon is light, and the number of days the melon has been planted.

When the melon is ripe, the peel will fully show the color characteristic of the variety, smooth and shiny, and the pattern will be clear. Secondly, in terms of feel, gently pinch the middle chain or gently press the melon body with your hands, it will feel elastic or soft, and when you hit the melon body with your fingers, it will make a turbid popping sound, and in terms of taste, the ripe melon will have a strong fruity aroma.

Melons can only be eaten after they are ripe, and melons that are not ripe will taste bitter.

There are different varieties of melons, and each variety has a different ripening time and ripeness.

Melons are rich in nutrients, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, malic acid, vitamins, beet eggplant, crude fiber, and minerals, among others.

1. Look at the shape: After the melon is ripe, the fruit surface is shiny, the peel is bright, and the inherent color, pattern, stripe and reticulation of the variety are presented. For example, the fruit is golden yellow when it is ripe.

Elizabeth, Yellow and Equal Fruit Peel is yellow, bright in color, easy to identify. The type of white melon changes from white with gray to shiny milky white, and the skin can be felt elastic when you gently press the umbilicus with your fingers.

2. Look at the melon: Many melon varieties reach the maturity stage, and there is often a separation between the fruit and the fruit stalk, so that the melon is ripe and falls. Varieties that produce separation are easy to fall off when picked. Varieties that are not easy to produce delamination, the fruit stalk phenol near the melon surface is fluffy and falls off, and the top near the umbilicus begins to soften.

3. See if the epidermis is hard: the skin of mature melons is relatively large, and the nails are not easy to fall into; The skin of the raw melon is tender and easy to scratch marks. The umbilicus of ripe melons is relatively soft and elastic when pinched by hand.

1. The ripening time of melons is late spring and early summer every year, and they may be marketed from late April to early May.

2. The ripening and harvesting time is mostly concentrated in about 50 days after flowering, and the temperature of each cultivation area is different, and the ripening time of melons is also different.

3. The main planting areas of melon are the warm temperate semi-arid areas of North China, including the south of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, the north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, and the east of the Yellow River in Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui.
