Watermelon

Misc.
Elly and Janet, you got me thinking that I also need to know! I found a website from the National Watermelon Board, and they say:

1. Look the watermelon over, choose a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is free of bruises, cuts and dents.
2. Lift it up - the watermelon should be heavy for its size. Watermelon is 92% water, that accounts for most of its weight.
3. Turn it over - on the underside of the watermelon there should be a creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun.

They have a video on the site as well, which is :http://www.watermelon.org
