How to buy and store melons

Watermelon should be firm and evenly coloured and should feel heavy. Tap them with your knuckles. They should not sound hollow. The side where the melon has rested should be yellowish and not white or green. Melon pieces can be wrapped in clear film and kept in the fridge for 2 -3 days. Muskmelon should feel heavy for their size and give a pleasant and sweet aroma. They should not smell too musky, as this is a sign that they are over ripe.
