If you choose not the correct watermelonYou run the risk of his or green (and savory) form, or already overripe with cotton pulp, the melon with a bit more complicated. That is, the selection parameters are quite simple, but the consequences of the wrong melon, in my opinion, worse than the watermelon.
How to choose
1. Smell. Good ripe melon smells of honey. If you do not smell at all, only green melon smells or odors already bad, it is better to postpone such a melon.
2. Appearance. The melon should be free of cuts, nicks, cracks, and stains. The flesh under the spots and dents can be bitter. Plus sweet melon pulp is an excellent place for breeding of various bacteria is not very pleasant. You do not want to make problems with the stomach?
3. Sound. When a pat on the melon she should publish a thud.
4. Elasticity. If you press on the skin of your fingers, the melon should be slightly springy. If it is solid, it means everything is still green. If the opposite thumbs fall through, then melon is overripe and will soon spoil. Plus, it can be bitter near the skin.
What you should not combine
1. Milk and milk products.
2. Alcohol.
3. Cold water.
Eating melon together with the above products, you risk to read in the toilet all the literature accumulated there. Since the melon - a pretty heavy product, it is better to enjoy it in the intervals between meals. At the very empty stomach or after eating it best not to eat.
melons use is not recommended for people with acute exacerbation of peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer zheldka, people with diabetes. It is not advisable to use it as food to nursing mothers.
In no case do not buy a melon with stalls along the road (especially next to a busy highway), cut cantaloupe (you do not know how long it is in this form). Do not try to knife melon in the market, as mentioned above, its pulp is an excellent environment for habitat and breeding of various bacteria. Imagine how many of them have accumulated on the knife seller.
