The tail of the watermelon should be dry and yellowish. Unswerky Watermelon has a green tail, overprare or lying watermelon - too dry.

By arrival home, cut the watermelon. Ripe watermelon bones black and large.

If the water remained transparent, there are no nitrates in the watermelon. A slightly pinkish color of water and light moonliness testifies to the permissible number of chemicals. If the water acquires a saturated red color, this watermelon cannot be eaten.
