A nutritionist explains: How to choose a red watermelon correctly?
A Russian nutritionist revealed how to choose a red watermelon correctly.
Food expert Yulia Lemysheva said it is best to buy watermelons from supermarkets and certified markets, where they are tested for pesticides, nitrates and radionuclides.
Lemysheva pointed out that these conditions and conditions are not available in the random outlets that are scattered on the streets of cities.
The nutritionist stressed that it is best to buy a watermelon that weighs from 7 to 9 kilograms, with many contrasting stripes and small orange-yellow spots.
And she continued, "When you tap a ripe watermelon by hand, a clear resonant echo will be heard, and the hand will feel reverberation at that."
"Long-standing and seasoned watermelon eaters usually know how to choose the watermelon correctly. They squeeze it with their fists. The ripe fruit makes a clear and resonant sound, and the immature watermelon responds lukewarm and hollow," said Lemysheva.
Lemysheva advised placing the watermelon near the ear and pressing it a little, adding that the ripe fruit will rattle a little.
The nutritionist stressed that watermelons should be stored in a place with a temperature between 10 and 15 degrees and a humidity limit of 80-90 percent.
In general, watermelons can be stored for several months.
