We dedicate our heroines and heroes to the watermelon diet
next material.
We do not want to disappoint, but the existing opinion that watermelon is
berry, absolutely wrong. And watermelon and melon belong to the family
multi-seed pumpkin, and this only gives them extra
utility. Watermelons are rich in fiber and perfectly quench thirst in
the hot season, and melon contains a large amount of vitamin C and
It helps to remove cholesterol from the body. But does not happen
good without a blessing – watermelons and melons must also be able to choose. For advice
we turned to experienced retailers who opened our eyes
on some consumer tricks.
Having come to the market or to the supermarket, pay attention to
The following: – The tail of the watermelon should be dry, yellowed. Than
the more dried tail, the more ripe the watermelon; – choosing a watermelon, you need
squeeze it well in your hands. If the watermelon cracks, it means
quite sang and fit for food; – on watermelons should not be
�“Bedsores” – their presence indicates that the watermelon is soft. Yellow
spots on the sides are also not an indicator of ripeness, they mean
only that during ripening the watermelon lay on its side and on the spot
did not hit the light. However, even following these rules, it is difficult
protect yourself from various chemicals that may contain
watermelon. Some fruits have a high nitrate content,
which may cause the buyer serious food poisoning.
In addition, the slices of watermelons, packed in cellophane, which
can be found in supermarkets are not always the best
by choice. The problem is that in contact with air the pulp
watermelon quickly deteriorates and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, and therefore
on the spontaneous “razvalakh” with watermelons, their quality is
much higher. Of course, when choosing a watermelon worth paying attention
whether the seller has all the necessary documents – medical
a book and similar papers. And still grieving – a chance to get
food poisoning is always there. This is indicated by the sellers themselves – in
each party always come across watermelons that are in food
unsuitable.
As for the choice of melon, then the situation is much
simpler. Before buying a melon, you need to carefully push and smell
her. It should be soft – the softer the melon, the more ripe it is.
This is due to the fact that during maturation the substance accumulates
protopectin, which gives all melon tissues softness and tenderness.
In addition, ripe melon must certainly smell fragrant – than
The better and more appetizing the melon smells, the more likely it is
ripe and palatable.
