YELLOW PATCH - bigger the patch the longer rippen on the ground; the uglier the better. WEBBING - more webbing, more sweet. DARK SPOTS - sugar seeping out. Ive been picking the prettier ones all these years. Now we know.GREAT TIPS! Thanks to you!! 💗 👍👀👍
@@Theletters94 Shud sound full, a low sound not high pitch hollow sound. Means full of water. High pitch less water. Plus, the yellow patch and brown stem.
Yep. These are excellent tips. It actually is good if it sounds hollow instead of dense too. The yello spot is the spot on the ground away from the sun, and not the spot in the sun. It's pale because it doesn't get direct light.
That is not where it was in the sun, it is where it was touching the ground, not getting light so the chlorophyll didn’t develop.. You want to get the one with the orange, or as close to orange, as possible. That means it spent longer in the field ripening.
That doesn't mean much either the higher brix comes from not being watered good sun exposure is also key but if they get rained on before they are harvested they won't be as sweet.
All of the explanations for her tips make no sense. How does pollination cause scaring on a fruits surface? Pollination only needs to be successful once for a fruit to start developing. More pollination makes no difference in watermelon sweetness. Also sugar seeping out of a fruit would trigger pests and indicate rotting. If dark spots meant sugar was seeping out of the fruit, stay far away from it, that's a rotten fruit! Her tips may correlate with sweet watermelon but her explanations are bullshit.
The yellow patches are patches that didn't get any sunlight.to pick the perfect watermelon the smaller stem the better,the greener the better .the pattern also has has to be as balanced as possibly. If the watermelon is greener it means Its got more sunlight.
@@hichizarai I'm 100% sure ! think of it why would the sweeter part be yellow? And not green ? Yellow means it didn't get any sunlight and the green gets the most sunlight so it will be green.
@@hichizarai in theory it makes sense because the rate of photosynthesis would be low and lower chlorophyll which is used to trapped sunlight during photosynthesis. There’s no fool proof method, I’m pretty sure those cracks aren’t from pollination. They are most likely a result of scarring from being scratched against something in early growth but I take chem not bio so idk about the second one. I find the tapping method has been most effective and fun, but it’s an accumulation of experience as the the perfect balance between a hollow and ‘flat’ sound is different for every body
Wow. I need to try these tips. I never know which to pick, so I usually just grab for what I can carry comfortably and just hope it isn't a bad choice once I get home. Like flipping a coin.
The yellow patch is called the ground spot. It's where the melon was in contact with the ground and, yes, it's the best way to choose a watermelon. It should also feel heavy for its size. Thumping means nothing.
Wait omg this is so helpful, I always thought the big yellow patches meant they were unripe and always picked the most spotless green ones I could find, thank you so much omg 😳
I swear ANYTIME I'm looking at fruits and comparing them, some idiot sees me and stands behind me like hurrying me up, like DONT YOU SEE IM BUSY TRYING TO GET MY MONEYS WORTH
and one other thing, the rounder the watermelon means the sex, if its really round, its a female! if its kinda oblong- its a male and the meat wont be as sweet, hope this helps!
Bruh when I tell you I was flabbergasted when I saw “sex” and “watermelon” in the same sentence. I looked it up, and what I read was that there’s male and female watermelon flowers, but I couldn’t find any reliable sources on female and male watermelons. I probably didn’t look hard enough for a source though!
Story time! I was in Safeway digging for *my* watermelon and employee came up and told me she didn't want me fondling her produce anymore and that due to the pandemic I had to buy all the melons I touched. 😅 The produce manager was literally working 15 yards away and he laughed with me and told me don't worry, get your watermelon. She started picking up watermelons that I'd presumably touched and throwing them on the floor, going "well we can't sell THIS because you touched it...we can't sell THIS, or THIS..." She had to be physically removed by security. I did get my watermelon 🍉 and I know what happened wasn't my fault and had nothing to do with me or watermelon, but I still feel terrible about the whole thing...that poor girl...
She gone be hurt when she finds out that customers touch EVERYTHING and then put it back cause they changed their mind. Plus you always wash your fruit or vegetables before consuming even if you aren’t eating the outer parts. She definitely had some prior issues going on.
@@extraordinarybri2355 I think we all kind of "have our moments" where we can't help but get super upset, due to whatever other stressors in our lives. I hate that hers happened to her in front of the place that was signing her paychecks.
Obviously the employee is "unbalanced" and how she treated you and what she did, required she be fired. We live in a world of many people. There isn't anything that has not been handled by others--from the doorknob to the gas pump, and if that isn't proof enough then how about money! So sorry for what she put you through.
Thank you so much for sharing this I was recently in a conversation with a neighbor about how to pick the best sweetest and crunchy watermelon and neither of us knew the answer(s).
You have inspired me so much. Thank to your videos, I have slowly started uploading. I won’t stop until one of my videos finally goes viral and I am able to reach a good amount of subscribers. Keep being so sweet and yourself always ❤️💕
Omg I can’t thank her enough. Me and my 3 year old went watermelon 🍉 shopping and I followed all what she asked to look . We got two melons with webbing and yellow spots one got less webbing and bigger spot the other one got more webbing and smaller spot . So I ended up with the second one . And voila it was delicious and sweet. Thank so so much .
Because her advice is wrong, the yellow area is where the melon laying on the ground, pollination does not leave webbing or scars. Sometimes grocery store watermelon is picked before peak sweetness.
My friend is right. The uglier, the better, but the sweetest watermelons are those with seeds. I bought an “ugly” watermelon from Walmart and my neighborhood store. My neighborhood store watermelon tasted WAAAY better. The seeds truly make a difference….Now, I want watermelon.
Sweet isn't always healthy... And beauty is on the inside in that sense means ..internal organs of humans..comparing to watermelon flesh... Nature is not telling you anything...you sense things as per your values There healthy fruits with beautiful outside and inside and good nutrients... Everything in nature is beautiful
“Everything in nature is beautiful.” - top 50 dumbest things said this year, #35 Note: sorry, just going around different comment sections looking for dumb statements and I’m making a list
See that the tendril (the twig that connects to the creeper) is dried and tap the melon a few times for a sound of full echo not a hollow one and you have picked up a sweet one. All those scars and patches might not be on all watermelons.
I have been on a watermelon kick for the last month. I've bought one a week for three weeks and every time it is SO SWEET. I also know what to look for and can't help eating so much as it tastes SO GOOD. Just be careful too much can cause indigestion, burping and more... First hand experience 🤪
That is a good trick for knowing when it’s ripe! I believe these tips are geared more towards knowing how sweet the ripened watermelon is. Could be wrong because I’ve never picked a watermelon with these tips in mind.
@@thejackrabbit77 I was taught that the more hollow, the juicier which I guess is typically sweeter? I don’t know, but I always come home with a good watermelon
Thank you so much, I buy watermelon for my dogs on hot days but the family always comes and takes most of it at least I will know how to pick the right one now.
This is better than knocking. Knocking on a good watermelon gives this weird low resistance sound, the vibrations moving through the water, you want the watery ones. If it gives back a hard knock sound, no good. But since the pandemic touching stuff isn't cool so this is a better system. I feel like a criminal squeezing avocadoes and mangoes and stuff lol.
Thank you for this ! I once lugged a heavy watermelon home from the supermarket only to find it was tasteless. I would have thought the least blemishes the better and the yellow patch would put me off but now I know better 😀
The yellow area means this area was in the sun? I thought exacly this area is the part which toughed the soil. And because no sun can shine there its not good colored. I mean i still have this opinion. Because its how it works with Pumpkins and Zucchini also. 🤔 Somebody agree with me??

In that case I am the sweetest watermelon. I have all those scars.
Haha. Me too!
@@sicklecell4550 mine was thanks to unnecessary accutane.
Are you ok though? :(
May I ask why was it unnecessary?
@@sicklecell4550 because there's another supplement that would have helped without the side effects all are.
So basically the ugliest watermelon? Easiest way for me to remember!
Yes that’s what I always say lol
lol
Yeah I used to try and find the perfect most Pinterest watermelon so this is nice to know lol😂
Think of it like women, the better the "personality" the better the melon but also need paper bag
no, preferably large yellow with heavier green or if there is paleness with large yellow than ignore
YELLOW PATCH - bigger the patch the longer rippen on the ground; the uglier the better.
WEBBING - more webbing, more sweet.
DARK SPOTS - sugar seeping out.
Ive been picking the prettier ones all these years. Now we know.GREAT TIPS! Thanks to you!! 💗 👍👀👍
Hahaha me too 😂
@@sarahtorres6502I've also heard that if you refrigerate your watermelon *WHOLE* for 2 days before eating it, it's much sweeter.
Knock on it, if its high pitched and hollow sounding its perfect almost everytime
Great to know -thank you !
That's how I do it 2
I did that and it didn't end sweet 😭 maybe all the watermelons weren't sweet
@@Theletters94 Shud sound full, a low sound not high pitch hollow sound. Means full of water. High pitch less water. Plus, the yellow patch and brown stem.
I tried that method but it didn’t worked 😅
My Mexican grandparents just slap it and know. They’re right every time 💀
Yes ! It should sound hollow never fails
Thats really how I chose my water melon
😂😂😂
Reminded me of "Smack my A$$ like a drum" 💀💀💀
😂
This is so helpful!!! I used to go for the prettier watermelons until now. I’ll prioritize the character from now on. Thanks!
The ugliest berries and fruits are usually the sweetest. We grow strawberries and usually small irregularly shaped ones are the most delicious.
Thanks for the tips.
I’m even more amazed by how you cut the watermelon!!
FOR REAL! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A VIDEO ON THAT. she carved the WHOLE thing out of its peel. lol
@@fathercrossangellamblove agreed lol… I’d like to see a video on how she cuts a watermelon 🍉 too
Omgoodness! These are the ones I avoid! Thanks for the tips!
I’ve been picking the pretty ones this whole time-
B R U H
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
THANK YOU 🫡🙌
You’re literally the BEST!!!! ✨🍉🫶
I haven’t had the best luck when choosing watermelons 🍉 so I’m sooo excited to try this!!
Yep. These are excellent tips. It actually is good if it sounds hollow instead of dense too. The yello spot is the spot on the ground away from the sun, and not the spot in the sun. It's pale because it doesn't get direct light.
Actually the yellow spot is where it lay on the ground.
That's.. What she said.
My dad just knocks on it
Mine too
Knock knock knock... watermelon come on in its open 😆 🤣 😂
Thank u. I have tried many other methods of finding a good watermelon, and none of them worked. I am eager to try yours!
Just remember the more uglier the more sweeter Lol
So does that mean I'm sweeter ❓
@@adrixna438 u sure are very sweet
@@therasiblings5516man
This method has worked for over a year since I first saw this video! You are amazing.

That yellow patch is not from the sun, that is actually the bottom which is in direct contact with the ground.
She meant that the bigger the patch, the more it stayed outside
Agree!!!
Those watermelons are perfect
Thanks @MyHealthyDish for these amazing tips. My family loves watermelon 🍉
I appreciate these tips!!! Thank you!!!
Wow what a great hack got to remember that. Thanks for that keep up the great work!!!
Wow! Thanks for these tips! 🙋♀️
"The uglier the better"...I am so excited to try this
I'm definitely going to try this! I was taught to pick out the prettiest because then it means it's not spoiled I think
Wow. I need to try these tips. I never know which to pick, so I usually just grab for what I can carry comfortably and just hope it isn't a bad choice once I get home. Like flipping a coin.
Works every time for me 🥰
Thank you so much for the tips!!🍉
Thank you!!!!! I’ve always wondered how to pick the best one.
Nice tips! I always knock to listen for hollowness and check it’s weight to see if it feels heavy for its size.
The yellow patch is called the ground spot. It's where the melon was in contact with the ground and, yes, it's the best way to choose a watermelon. It should also feel heavy for its size. Thumping means nothing.
Some say thumping matters, others say it does, so either you are wrong or their wrong
Wait omg this is so helpful, I always thought the big yellow patches meant they were unripe and always picked the most spotless green ones I could find, thank you so much omg 😳
IT WORKS MY MOM TRIED AND IT WORKED
Love this method. I pick great watermelon every time
What! I always avoided these ones 😭😭😭
oof 💀
Wow, This is super helpful❤️
Thank you for your tips👍
My mama taught me about this as well. I always go that extra mile for the sweetest watermelon. Also those organic watermelon hit so different ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I swear ANYTIME I'm looking at fruits and comparing them, some idiot sees me and stands behind me like hurrying me up, like DONT YOU SEE IM BUSY TRYING TO GET MY MONEYS WORTH
Maybe you should hurry your ass up
I agree it takes time to find the right one!
The yellow patch is from where the melon was touching the ground. That yellow patch got no sun.
Yeah lol
Yeah
True

@@orangcat_ still don’t completely understand, but that’s really cool. Learned something completely new and weird today. Thanks!
@@leelee.clare3872 no problem? 😌
I don't know about that, but seedless watermelon is usually much rounder than seeded watermelon, which tends to be oblong, and not as sweet.
Thank you Ma'am, now I know how to pick the right 🍉😊❤️
Thank you so much for the tips! God bless you!!🥰💕🙏
I always knock on it too. The more more hollow it sounds the better because that means it full of juice not unripe melon.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! just subscribed

so happy it worked for you
Thanks for the tips. I'll look for this next time I'm buying a watermelon 🍉☀️
Finally! After 46 years of my life I finally know. Thank you!!!!
Oooohhhh thank you for the tip! I never knew how to choose a good watermelon.
Hermiston watermelon is the best, great tips!
The ones i ALWAYS DIDN'T PICK..!! 😳😳
Sameeeeee
That watermelon looks so good I’ma try that now 😁
Wow, now I know, I always avoided Mellon's with all three steps. Thank you.
Girl you are so right that is how my Mother taught me never fails!
the imperfection of the fruit makes it a perfect watermelon.
This is true! I bought one today with a big yellow spot & it is soo sweet! 😊🙌🏻

Yeah I’ve always found that the darker ones that sound hollow when you knock on them are the best. The ones with yellow on them are never as good.
Yes, her video was correct. You have no luck maybe next time 🤞🤞🤞
Thanks 👏 for the tip. Going watermelon 🍉 shopping 🛍 today 😋.

Def going to try those tips
Can't wait for this. ROCKY FORD CO. 🍉
The sweetest.
Um is no one talking about how she cut ALL OF THE RIND OFF FIRST????
I do it to , then my kids don’t waste any not getting all the ways to the rine
That was a great tip. Thank you!
That yeallow patch was where watermelon was on earh, thats soil patch
Yay. I learned something new today. Thanks 👍
The yellow spot is actually where it was making contact with the ground.
That’s literally what she said.
Super sweet like you! Thanks for sharing your tips!
Also, knock on the watermelon like you’re knocking on a door. If it sounds hollow, it’s a good watermelon.
Got it! I must try that! Thanks
Also knock on it, if it sounds hollow, it's perfectly ripe
Edit- I just realized someone already said this
I love your watermelons 🍉
The yellow is the field spot, where it was touching the ground
Thank you for the informative 👍🏽 the melon at the end looks sweet 😋
In the market basket near me all the watermelons are almost fully yellow and is covered in the webbing and spots
Thank you, I knew about the yellow patch but not the pollination or the sugar spots.
I’m pretty sure the spot is where it was sitting on the ground… not from the sun. But still means sweeter melon.
Ahhhh been avoiding all those markings my entire life 🤣😬🤦
So all I got to remember is get the ugliest watermelon and I'll get the best one! LOL I can do that thanks for the tips!
Thank you for this watermelon 🍉 tip!!
These are all the things my grandpa taught me when I was younger. Needless to say, I have never failed in watermelons 😉😉
Thank you ! I’ll try it tomorrow. By the way, you are beautiful 😻
See even the nature be telling us that beauty is on the inside not outside!
Sweet isn't always healthy...
And beauty is on the inside in that sense means ..internal organs of humans..comparing to watermelon flesh...
Nature is not telling you anything...you sense things as per your values
There healthy fruits with beautiful outside and inside and good nutrients...
