The Old AMISH Way to Pick a Sweet Watermelon Every Time | Amish lifestyle

Описание: If you want to know how to pick a sweet watermelon, this video will show you the five simple signs that growers and experienced produce buyers use to find the sweetest watermelon in the pile.
Most people have no idea how to choose a watermelon at the grocery store. Two shoppers can buy from the same bin, pay the same price, and bring home completely different results. One gets a sweet, juicy watermelon. The other gets a pale, watery melon with almost no flavor.
The difference is not luck.
In this video, I explain how to tell if a watermelon is ripe using five traditional tests that have been passed down for generations:

0:00 - Introduction
4:25 - The ground spot
Deep golden yellow usually means vine-ripened sweetness.
6:20 - The shape
Smooth, symmetrical melons tend to ripen more evenly.
8:10 - The webbing
More brown webbing often means better pollination and more sweetness.
10:00 - The knock test
A deep, hollow sound is usually a good sign.
11:45 - The tendril
A dry brown tendril often indicates proper ripeness.
13:40 - How To Pick The Best Watermelon Every Time

These simple watermelon picking tips take less than ninety seconds to use and can help you choose a better watermelon every time.
I am Amish, and while these are not Amish secrets, they are the kind of practical knowledge that was once common among farmers and families across America. Like many lessons from the Amish lifestyle, they are simple, practical, and still work today.
Tell me in the comments: which of these five signs surprised you the most? And if your family has its own watermelon-picking trick, I would love to hear it.
