🍉☀️ Its almost summer and the watermelon season is officially here! ☀️🍉
Don’t leave the sweetest melon of the season up to luck. Here's my watermelon cheat sheet:
✅ Look for a creamy yellow field spot
✅ Choose one that's heavy for its size
✅ Find those web-like sugar scars (webbing)
✅ Pick a dull, dark rind
✅ Go for a symmetrical shape
✅ And yes... seeded watermelons are often sweeter and more flavorful!
🚫 Skip shiny, lightweight melons with white spots or odd shapes.
Fun fact: Those brown web-like lines aren't damage—they're often called "sugar webbing" and can indicate strong pollination and sweeter fruit.
