This guide applies primarily to seeded and seedless watermelon varieties. For smaller types like Sugar Baby or Yellow Crimson, the same tips apply, but size and weight will vary accordingly.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use the same guide for mini watermelons?
A: Yes! Just scale down your expectations—look for similar signs of ripeness like yellow spots, webbing, and a heavy feel for its size.
Q: Do all ripe watermelons have sugar spots?
A: Not always, but their presence is a bonus. It indicates a sweet fruit.
Q: What if the watermelon has a few scratches or blemishes?
A: Surface scars are fine as long as they don’t penetrate the flesh or appear moldy. Scratches often occur during handling and don’t affect the taste.
