Melon is
a summer fruit
.
The most popular is the white melon, also known as
honeydew
.
Although its price is seasonal, when sold in its entirety, the price increases.
Therefore, it is necessary to buy a copy that is very tasty.
The simplest way to know if a melon is ready to eat is detected
by exerting light pressure on the fruit
, on the opposite side to the stem.
If it feels flexible it means it is at the right point.
And this technique can be corroborated by bringing it close to your nose and checking if you smell a soft smell of sweet melon.
Another factor to note is the
texture of the skin
.
If it is
slightly rough, when you open it you will enjoy a great specimen.
It is delicious on its own, cut into cubes, previously placed in the freezer for an hour, it is a great healthy snack,
wrapped in ham it is a "vintage" appetizer and in sheets it camouflages itself in fresh salads.
Great week for everyone!
Eat delicious food and cook a lot.
