How can you tell if a watermelon is ripe or raw

To judge the rawness or ripeness of watermelon, you can by:

1. Be able to see: see whether the texture of the melon skin is clear, and the clear one is cooked or raw.

2. Be able to touch: feel whether the melon skin is smooth, whether there are fluff at both ends of the melon, and the melon skin is smooth and there is no fluff at both ends of the melon, which means that the melon is ripe or raw.

3. Be able to listen: knock the melon with your hand to listen to the muffled sound for cooking, and the crisp sound for life.

The quality of watermelon depends not only on the variety, but more importantly on its ripeness. Buying high-quality watermelons is mainly identified by looking, touching, checking and listening.

See. Flower peel melons, the lines should be clear, and the shade should be distinct; Black melons, the skin should be black and shiny. No matter what kind of melon, the melon and the umbilicus are concave inward, the vine stalk is close to the skin of the melon, and the pedicle is thick and green, which is a sign of maturity.

Touch. Touch the melon skin with your thumb and feel that the melon skin is smooth and hard, and the melon skin is sticky or soft for the second melon.

OK. The more ripe the watermelon, the lighter its portion. Generally, watermelons of the same size are better for light ones, and raw melons for those that are too heavy.

Listen. Hold the watermelon in your hand, gently flick it with your fingers, and make a crisp sound of "dong, dong", and the hand of the melon feels a little trembling, it is a ripe melon; The sound of "sudden, sudden" is a reflection of a relatively high degree of maturity; makes a "poof, poof" sound, it is an overripe melon; It is the raw melon that makes the "click, click" sound.

The watermelon is not ripe because the skin is too thick, so you need to feel whether the skin is thin when picking a ripe watermelon. Knock! Tap the skin with your middle finger and make a crisp sound, which proves that it is ripe.

If the sound is muffled after tapping, it means that the watermelon is not fully ripe. Method 2, look at the guati, if it is dry, it means that the picking time is too long, which affects the taste. You want to pick fresh melons and buy them crisply.

Hope mine can help you, thanks.

1 Visual inspection. Look at the appearance of the fruit and the bristle tendrils. The surface of the fruit exhibits morphological characteristics such as skin color, reticulation or stripes inherent to the variety.

The ripe melon has clear veins, distinct shades, the base of the fruit stalk is slightly contracted, the navel is concave inward, and the landing part turns yellow; Under normal plant growth, the fruit setting node and the tendrils before and after are withered, and the bristles of the fruit stalk are sparse and fall off, indicating that the fruit is ripe.

2 Hand test. Flick the melon with your fingers or pat or touch the melon with the palm of your hand. The dullness of the melon is a ripe melon.

It produces a crisp and crisp sound for raw melon. When you touch the skin of the melon with your hands, the one that has a slippery feeling is the cooked melon, and the one that is astringent is the raw melon. One hand to hold the melon, one hand on the top of the melon gently patting, such as the palm of the melon slightly trembling, the melon makes a loud sound is a ripe melon, such as the hand of the melon does not feel trembling, the sound of the sound is raw melon.

Squeeze both ends of the fruit with both hands at the same time, put it in your ear and listen, if there is a hissing melon cracking sound, it is a ripe melon. For watermelons of the same variety and volume, raw melons are heavier than ripe melons, and overripe melons are lighter than ripe melons. Experienced people can use the identification method of "hand-held melon", that is, the second-hand melon is slightly lightweight, and the watermelon with good maturity is the watermelon.

3 Marking. After the female watermelon flowers open or pollinate, a 50 cm tall branch or bamboo strip is inserted next to the flower to mark it, and the upper end is painted with different colors. Change the color every 2 days and mark the single melon.

The ripening period is estimated according to the accumulated temperature or number of days required for each variety to mature. By marking the date of fruit set and checking the cutting of melons, the harvest is carried out at the right time according to the marking.

4 Specific gravity method. Fruit specific gravity was determined. The specific gravity of ripe watermelon and water is not the same at room temperature.

The density of watermelon with suitable maturity is that the proportion of raw melon is greater than and less than that of overripe melon. The watermelon can be put into the water for observation, if the watermelon is completely sunk, it indicates that the raw melon, the surface part is very large; Indicates that it is overripe and does not surface much, indicating ripe melon.

6 Instrumental assays. It can be used with a non-damaging melon and fruit tester produced in Shanghai. When measuring, as long as the center line of the probe of the tester is aimed at the center point of the fruit, it is less than or equal to 8 degrees for raw melon, and more than 8 degrees for cooked melon, and the accuracy is higher.

There is also a watermelon raw and ripening tester jointly developed by Shanxi Medical Device Factory and Pinglu County Native Fruit Company, with an operating efficiency of 380 melons per hour.

You can tap the watermelon with your hands.

If the watermelon sounds crispy. It's cooked.

Knock it up and be muffled. It's raw.

It can also be squeezed with both hands. If it rings inside, it is cooked. If you don't want to, you live.

Take control of the strength yourself.

It's unclear.

How can you tell between raw and cooked watermelon? Generally, watermelons of the same size are better for light ones, and raw melons for those that are too heavy. Hold the watermelon in your hand, gently flick it with your fingers, and make a crisp sound of "dong, dong", and the hand of the melon feels a little trembling, it is a ripe melon; Hair.

The sound of "sudden, sudden" is a reflection of a relatively high degree of maturity; makes a "poof, poof" sound, it is an overripe melon; It makes a "click, click" sound.

Misconceptions about choosing watermelon:

1. Listen to the sound: the average person thinks...
