How to Know if Watermelon is Ripe - Proven Methods [TURN ON SUBTITLES]

[@StacyLynHarris]

I have now added subtitles to this video. Please let me know if I need to adjust them at all. Hope this helps!

[@RobiBue]

Is that loud music really necessary? Removing the music would help a lot to understand what y‘all are sayin‘. Thanks

[@wrapupnaturalee8351]

Stacy.... Even though I'm not american, I can understand what you are saying above the music. I'm not sure what reason the others have for not being able to hear you... :) I've heard many other videos with music much louder than yours, though in the long run it's definitely best to have just speech rather than music anyway. As you have now found out lols. BUT it wasn't that annoying for me at all and you were easy to understand for me...!!!

[@StacyLynHarris]

@@RobiBue How do you remove music if you don't have the video file anymore? :(

[@StacyLynHarris]

@@wrapupnaturalee8351 Thank you so much for your kind words. I did this video a while back and one of my young sons videotaped and edited it. I am very proud of him for doing this. I thank you for your kindness. Some aren't quite as kind!

[@RobiBue]

Stacy Lyn Harris it’s unfortunate that the raw vid isn’t available anymore. Personally I wouldn’t have added the music, but that’s my opinion. Others like it... I must say, that the idea on “scientifically” choosing/evaluating the “goodness” of a watermelon is intriguing/interesting. I’m just at an age where my hearing gets conflicted when there’s music and talk going on at the same time and it ends up as tone-salad; hardly able to tell what is what...

[@garivera15]

I can't for the life of me understand why it's necessary to add music to a video. It's usually too loud and just as in the case of this video it sounds like you're trying to talk over the music to be heard...and I'd like to hear what you're trying to teach but I can't and won't turn up the music to try and hear you speak louder. So I suggest next time you put a video together skip the music and just teach from your heart. I could only take 36 seconds of unnecessary music and I had to stop and type (instead).

[@ocneal]

I agree. It's not just these folks. It's basically to everybody -why add music that detracts from your message?

[@saskialolita]

@@ocneal I wouldn’t really mind it if it weren’t so loud, but these guys have the music turned up way too loud. Totally ridiculous, the dialogue audio should never have to compete with the background music - keyword: *background.* What’s the point of even recording audio at all if you’re just gonna drown it all out with loud music??? Lol like isn’t this video supposed to be instructional/informative? How is anyone supposed to learn anything if they can’t even hear what you’re saying? So annoying

Hey Stacy, can you please watch the video's a little before you upload them. As someone who is deaf, I cannot see what you are writing on the board. You might also want to do up a video, for those of us who are deaf and cannot rely on the thump test to find a ripe watermelon.

[@whisperingsage]

You'd have to bring your refractometer, and dig a core out and test it. I'm sure the store would love that.

[@cherylcarnes4207]

Look on the melon for the places where the bee's slice the rind off. It will be like a scrape. They look for the sweetness. Not the ones where they laid on the ground but the actual be bites. That would tell you it is a sweet and ripe melon.

[@1992montiel]

I check for bee stings and dark sap on the melon, which is supposed to be crystallized sugar. It works 9/10 times.

[@rogersmoot6194]

The "bee stings" was what I always looked for to determine ripeness. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to find those in stores.

[@zafirogamoulakos2450]

Thank you for all the time consuming work!

[@magovenor]

No one mentioned “scars “. I learned many moons ago that when a watermelon has lots of scars on the bottom it indicates that the bugs are trying to get into it because of the sweetness.

[@dncviorel]

What do you call bottom? The yellowish part where it sits on the ground?

[@hassanbazzi3545]

[@winklerfg]

Yes re-do the video with the music in the back ground ... please

[@SciReal]

Mainly 90% is the how the batch of watermelons are overall. I have worked 40 years in the business and if a bin comes in with good melons they are all usually good or all usually bad. The only empirically scientific way to get a better melon is to hit one side and put you hand on the other side feeling for a vibration, or a hollow sound. This is an indicator that the inside is crisp, crunchy and not mushy or over ripe. The down side is it only prevents you from buying a bad one but crisp doesn't mean it will be red ripe. But you now have increased your odds to buy an edible melon. Look for melons that don't have a green stem. A yellow bottom means the melon got good sunlight. That's the best you can do other than ask how they are coming in:)

[@StacyLynHarris]

Love this!! Thank you!!

[@gailfreese3849]

Wow, music is too loud.

[@momatomic]

I had a produce man tell me a surefire method for a ripe delicious melon. He said "Look at the flower end (as opposed to stem end) of the watermelon. if it has a bunch of what looks like little bee stings, it is because the melon is sweet and they try to draw out the sugar. Darned if it hasn't been 100% accurate so far.

[@galdrimmer1860]

Great info! the music is way too loud, would be nicer (for me) without music.

[@rashmiranjansingh]

The Sound Test gave the correct answer. One more traditional criteria is to observe the immature fruit remains less growth near its stem. The another method is to measure the "roundness" of the Watermelon overall or say more symmetric at top and at the bottom compared to the fruits of the same field.

[@thomasjefferson1457]

The music takes away from what you're trying to accomplish here. It would be much better without it.

[@donlewis777]

Save some time and after you plug the watermelon just taste them to see which is best, lol. One of my first jobs I had was in a grocery store in the 1960's and back then it was common to plug the watermelon to taste before buying. I find that a majority of watermelons at markets today are not that sweet. I don't know if it's because they are picked too early or if it's because seedless varieties just are not as good. I tend to think it's because they are picked too early just like the rest of the tasteless fruits that are in markets today. Gotta feel sorry for those who have never tasted a tree or vine ripened fruit.

[@monomer2]

+Don L Yes, I believe you are right, melons sent to market are picked too early and unfortunately melons do not finish ripening on the store shelves as say a tomato or a mango would. The grocer needs to buy in large quantities to amortize shipping and to get the best wholesale prices therefore the melons from that large shipment must be able to sit on the store shelf for weeks until sold. Often excess is kept refrigerated to extend this shelf time. Bottom line is large markets purchasing out of season from far away will sell melons picked too early for economic reasons and therefore will never be sweet. Unfortunately too many varieties of other fruits and vegetables are often not selected for flavor but rather for economic reasons... size and quick growth thereby many intentionally have greater water content and thus less flavorful. That's why I now shop local farmer's markets and also grow a garden in the summer. We purchase fruits and vegetables when in season and try to freeze the excess for out of season.

[@marcelveldbloem9175]

agree with you picked too early I am in Amsterdam and the same thing here

When I lived in Sacramento California, we would go to visit family in San Francisco CA. and along the valley route there Interstate 80, there were farmers fruit stands, all kinds of fruits, veggies, nuts and homemade breads! That is where we would find the greatest watermelons. Those that haven't sat in the warehouse of a supermarket.

[@wonderfulmuffinz254]

I found the ‘field patch’ to be the best method, but to be honest whatever farmers did to make them seedless has changed them all together. I’ve not had a nice sweet/juicy watermelon since I was a kid, and I’m almost 50! 🤷🏻‍♀️Sad.

[@seagate5778]

Seedless is the only melons recently seen. As kids we used to see who could seed spit the furthes. Without seeds, the melons can be fully enjoyed without concerning ourselves with disposing the black seeds. You owe yourself a seedless melon.

Good Lord people. They never claimed to be doing a scientifically accurate lab experiment. They were just having fun. If you want a video of the same melons, different sized melons, melons with their own forks, control melons, etc... then do your own experiment. She even put the word prove in quotations to suggest it wasn't really proof, and was subjective. Also, I heard her fine over the music. I do agree that I couldn't see the chart, but they did very well at explaining everything they put on the chart so there really was no need for me to see it with 100% clarity. Plus, I'm using a tiny phone screen so that could be my fault. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed watching.

[@pennyfoster7057]

It was a very nice and informative video and since I know nothing about how to tell ripe from unripe, I decided to watch it. I was much wiser afterwards. Now Im sure the comment section is there for people to 'comment' and people were very nice and their one biggest complaint was the music. If nobody said anything, how would Stacy know the music was drowning out some of the info. I bet that will come into consideration the next time she does a video.

[@melaniedowell7064]

I've got a question for you too I was born and raised Inez Texas if I can say I grew up on watermelon but when they started to going to seedless watermelon watermelon seems to lose a lot of it taste what do you guys think? I love your video but I agree with one of the comments you really need to have softer music so we can hear you guys better thanks for putting this out there for it

[@keyman55]

Guess I didn’t have an issue with the music. Some people have to complain about something. Was a great experiment on determining how to select a melon. Only thing would be to do the sample taste first and rate them blindly. Sometimes seeing the data steers you toward the better rated melon. Thank you for this fun and helpful production...

[@bersabeharris4680]

We used to grow watermelons, and we always go with the sound or pitch when you tap or knock on it and heaviness, of course its different if its harvest time because we know when we planted it, also the more you dont open them right away it will overripe with time eventually the texture inside change then rot. Another way for us to know if its ripe, from the vine connected to the watermelon there is this curl like hair kinda look like root attach to the vine that if this turns from bright green to faded green or almost dried up, then its its already ripe.

[@pragnakiri8587]

Music doesn’t help when trying to listen thumbs test

[@plethoraOFtrivia]

Broom straw test is bogus. Looks impressive. Amazing to watch as it happens. Stumped me till I tried it myself to see. The straw will invariability be slightly curved. The watermelon is curved. When the straw is untethered (only touching the melon at one point) and free to pivot, the straw (larger curve) will naturally "slide down hill" off the slick surface of the melon (smaller curve) to the single point of least contact. Straw could swing up or down. It does not " *care* ." (Video makers learned they had to keep trying till they found a melon/straw combination which acted as they wanted.

[@Bobopidoo]

Thé background music is annoying and stops me from hearing what you’re saying

[@nightmanphill]

why the music. good vid but please junk the music.

[@voxintenebris6367]

That was really interesting. The watermelon is probably the hardest of melons to judge. I grow other types of melon which I either judge by the change in fragrance (as I enter the greenhouse, it can be overwhelming when ripe), some liquid coming from the stem or the pressure test. Others say about the tendril condition as an indicator. However, none of that helps with watermelon. You both did a comprehensive assessment there, but I was willing the straw test to be right! Thanks, guys!

[@jaygeo3967]

Dump the background noise

[@catcook3324]

The best method is to hold the melon up to your ear with one hand, and thump it with the other hand, listening to the tone of the sound. The higher the sound the more unripe. If it has a low dull thud then it's over ripe. There is an optimum sound, a kind of middle tone ringing frequency. Try it---you will quickly become expert at it.

How do you explain the fractomitor showing 5 of the six having the exact same sugar content, yet the taste test seems to controdict those numbers?

[@texasflooring]

Just check to see if the nearest tendril is dried up. If it is, then it's ripe. Easy peasy.

[@aaabbb-tr2yd]

Don't have tendril in the shop watermelons. The method shown here will help you choose in the shop, while yours will help you pick from the garden.

[@RechtmanDon]

Alabam' born and raised, grew up with watermelon "fights," and sprinkled salt on the 'melon when eating it. We used the pitch method, according to the following standard: thump your head, your chest, your stomach. Then thump the watermelon. If it sounds like the chest sound, then it will be delicious (the 'melon, not the chest!).
