Watermelon Wisdom: Avoid Market Cheats with These Easy Selection Tips!

• Look for light yellowish patches on the skin; these indicate proper ripening on the vine.
• Choose round or oval watermelons; avoid oddly shaped ones.
• A heavy watermelon for its size suggests it's full of juice.
• Tap the watermelon: a deep, heavy sound means it's ripe and juicy.
• Avoid watermelons with a sharp or excessively dull tapping sound, as they might be overripe.
