  • Watermelon is one of my favorite foods on the planet but if I accidentally chomp down on a seed it ruins everything for me. That's why I started cutting my watermelon hedonistic style and it changed my life. In this video I explain my process for how to pick out the perfect watermelon.

      I’m Persian and I’m surprised we don’t have that stereotype because Persians literally eat watermelon every day haha. I legit eat watermelon every day cause it’s low calorie and sweet. Makes it easy to hit my macros while getting to snack on something sweet.

    My girl came home a week ago with a melon that i genuinely cant believe she managed to pick. It was nearly 80% pith.
    A tip in relation to the webbing, i cant guarantee the pollination factor but if there are small black orbs on the webbing that is a good indication that there is lots of sugar

    This is the best video I've found detailing well how to pick a watermelon. The only aspect Josh misses is in most other people's videos- select a watermelon that has a brown stem, not a green stem. A green stem (it is said) indicates a melon that was picked before vine ripening in the field. Great job Josh in TX.

    i saw from an italian fruitseller on tiktok that a sweet watermelon has a very small "asshole" (no idea what the actual english term is) and the stem should be as dry as possible, also you should be able to easily scratch the green outer skin with your nails.
    He also mentioned the sunspot and webbing methods

    Shiny watermelons tend to be under ripe. Watermelon is by favorite breakfast in the summer. I go through about 1 melon a week because I cut it into seedless chunks and store it in my fridge. A bowl of crisp, sweet, juicy watermelon cubes is the best way to wake up.

    Josh. Thanks once again for another proper banger.
    But I do want to say, for you and any impressionable yung'uns out there............ The seeds are not bad. Just eat 'em. Adds a crunchy lil topping to your melon and cuts down on YEARS of seed-pickin. Although, if I'm out in the yard or on a camp site, I will spit them out, that's also fun.
    Cheers.

    The slap test has been the tried and the true form of finding watermelon for me. It hasnt failed me yet. I find the knock test to be too forceful when listening and in the end makes it harder to hear the difference. A well spread out and consistent slap travels thru more sq in of the watermelon then a knock ever can and verbate thru it much more evenly and in result will dampen a lot more if there is a squishy interior, making the process a bit easier to find bad watermelon. Its also a bit naughty. I do agree with the weight test though, a heavy watermelon will outweight any other factor. Sometimes these may not be as crisp as a perfect watermelon, but will always be very sweet so you decide if the trade off is worth it. I only use those two factors, I find visual inspection to fall flat more often than not, tho it is something to be mindful of regardless.
