When buying watermelon, pay attention to distinguish between 'red scoop' and 'yellow scoop', the sweetness is different, so you don't waste money

Watermelon, a fruit, always reminds people of "hot" and "thirst-quenching". One of my favorite things to do in unbearably hot weather is to hold half a watermelon and eat it directly with a spoon. The hot and dry mood, with the sweet watermelon juice entering the stomach, not to mention how cured.

In my childhood memory, the flesh of watermelon was red. But in recent years, there is also a yellow-fleshed watermelon that has also occupied a lot of the watermelon market. When buying watermelon, whether to buy red meat or yellow meat really makes many people difficult. So today, Lazy Meow will talk to you about this topic, let's take a look:

Buy watermelon, choose red meat or yellow meat?

What is the difference between red meat watermelon and yellow meat watermelon?

Even though they are all watermelons, but the taste and taste of them are quite different. If you don't understand it, just buy it casually. Next, Lazy Meow will tell you the difference between them in detail.

1. Different appearance

The most direct difference between red-fleshed watermelon and yellow-fleshed watermelon is reflected in the color of the melon scoop after cutting. The red-fleshed watermelon is red in color and is the most common type of watermelon on the market. The color of the melon scoop of yellow-fleshed watermelon is the yellow in the picture above, and it is also called yellow scoop watermelon. In terms of size, yellow-fleshed watermelons are generally smaller than red-fleshed watermelons.

Compared with red-fleshed watermelon, yellow-fleshed watermelon has higher requirements on the growing environment and is more suitable for cultivation in coastal and plain areas, so the yield is also less than that of red-fleshed watermelon.

2. Different taste

Red-fleshed watermelon and yellow-fleshed watermelon have obvious differences in appearance and taste. The red-fleshed watermelon has more juice and a sweeter taste. Although the yellow-fleshed watermelon looks special, the juice in the pulp is less than that of the red-fleshed watermelon, and the taste is relatively less sweet.

From the point of view of taste, the taste of red-fleshed watermelon is better than that of yellow-fleshed watermelon, because most of my friends choose watermelons based on "sweetness" and "not much juice".

3. Different nutrition

In addition to the taste, I believe that what everyone is more concerned about is the nutritional difference between these two watermelons. At this time, we will mention the reasons for the different colors of the watermelons.

The difference in the color of watermelon flesh is directly related to the natural pigments contained in watermelon. The lycopene content in red-fleshed watermelon is high, so the melon is naturally red. The carotene content in yellow-fleshed watermelon is high, so the melon scoop naturally appears yellow. From a nutritional point of view, both have their own merits.

When buying watermelon, is red meat better or white meat better?

Let's go back to the question mentioned at the beginning, which of these two watermelons should be bought. After some comparisons, I believe everyone has an answer in their hearts.

The juice in red-fleshed watermelon is more abundant, the taste is sweeter, and the audience is wider. The color of the yellow-fleshed watermelon is quite special, the taste is relatively less sweet, it tends to be sweet, and the juice is less. As for which one to choose, it all depends on your personal preference. For example, some people just don't like to eat sweeter watermelons.
