How to know if a melon is ripe

Besides being tasty and very refreshing, melon is also nutritious and low in calories: perhaps this is why it is an ideal fruit to be served as a starter or dessert.

But for it to be truly delicious, it must gather its nutritional qualities and be just ripe. How not to be wrong? remember these tips to select it:

Always choose those with a firm shell, bright color, without cracks and without soft or perforated parts (as this can be caused by insects).

Also check that the parts that surround the stem are silky with the gentle pressure of the thumbs and if it is a green melon (honeydew type), run your hand through the peel and if it is somewhat rough, the melon is ready. When it is too smooth, it still needs to mature.

The nice, strong aroma is another good sign that the melon is ready to be eaten.

    I demand that summer come quickly to try the melon with sausage. It must be very appetizing.
