Choosing a ripe watermelon is pretty simple though there are different things people look for.

You basically just want to make sure the watermelon was picked after it ripened on the vine, because watermelons don’t ripen after they are picked, or don’t ripen much.

You can tell if a watermelon ripened on the vine by looking for a yellow spot called the field spot. A ripened watermelon will have a creamy yellow spot where the watermelon rested on the ground and properly ripened.

A whitish spot is an indication the watermelon was picked early, which results in a watermelon that contains less water and sugar.

This basically works most of the time. You can also look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size, which is an indication it contains a lot of water.

You can knock on the watermelon and listen for a hollow sound. If it has a hollow sound, that is also an indication the watermelon is ripe.
