How to choose fresh and delicious watermelon
- Good watermelons will have a taut, round, and shiny skin, with clearly visible dark stripes on the fruit.
- Choose watermelons with small and dry stems, the more concave the bottom and the more yellow it is, the sweeter the watermelon will be.
- You should choose a watermelon that feels heavier than its size, and if you tap on it and hear a “thump,” it means the watermelon is dense and juicy.

How to choose fresh Northern plums
- Good plums have intact and shiny skin, red or purple-red in color, round shape, with fresh green leaves still firmly attached to the fruit.
- Gently press the fruit; if it feels soft but not too mushy, it means the plum is sweet; conversely, if it is still hard, it means the plum is sour and astringent.
- Avoid choosing green plums or those that feel mushy, with bruised or damaged skin, as these are spoiled plums.
