How to Pick the Freshest Produce Every Time

That creamy yellow spot on the bottom? It’s called a field spot. A deep yellow or orange hue means the watermelon had time to ripen in the sun—and that’s a good thing.

Look for Webbing
Those brown web-like patterns aren’t damage. They’re bee marks. More webbing often means a sweeter melon.

Know the Gender
Yes, watermelons have “genders.” Boy melons are longer and more watery, while girl melons are rounder and sweeter.

Skip the Biggest Ones
Bigger isn’t always better. Go for an average-sized melon for the best flavor.
