Dark Green Bomb

What does it look like? Doesn’t it look like a bomb?
It is a seedless watermelon which doesn’t have stripes on the skin.
I bought it because the clerk said that it is sweeter than regular watermelon. There were yellow watermelons, too. I was curious about the taste of this unusual fruit. The taste wasn’t much sweater than I expected. I will buy a regular watermelon which has white stripes on the skin and seeds in it next time.

I have seen a long shaped watermelon in the USA, but Most of watermelons are round like a soccer ball in Korea.

Do you know how to choose a watermelon?

Follow these tips to pick the best watermelon available.

1. Look the watermelon over, choose a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is free of bruises, cuts and dents and the color of stripes on the skin is clear and bold.
2. Lift it up – the watermelon should be heavy for its size. Watermelon is 92% water, which 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.

A watermelon juice is the best cool drink in the hot summer. Have a cool summer !!
