How to Choose the Best Watermelon? Holland Bazaar Has You Covered! 🍉

Watermelon season is finally here — and there’s nothing better than biting into a perfectly ripe, juicy slice on a hot day. But how do you know which watermelon is the best? And where can your business find reliable watermelon wholesale in the UK?

At Holland Bazaar, we’ve been supplying high-quality fruits and vegetables for years — and watermelons are one of our absolute bestsellers.

🍉 How to Choose the Perfect Watermelon: Simple Expert Tips

Whether you’re buying for your grocery shop, restaurant, juice bar or catering business, here’s how to spot a watermelon that’s worth every slice:

  1. Look for the Field Spot
    That yellow patch on the skin? It’s called a field spot. The deeper and more golden it is, the longer the watermelon ripened on the vine. That usually means more flavour.
  2. Give It a Tap
    A good watermelon will make a deep, hollow sound when you knock on it. This means it’s full of water and ripe inside.
  3. Check the Sugar Spots and Webbing
    Brownish rough patches or web-like scars are signs of sweetness. They show where sugar has seeped through the skin.
  4. Pick It Up
    Watermelons should feel heavy for their size. The heavier, the juicier.
  5. Go for Dull, Not Shiny
    Shiny skin can mean the fruit is underripe. A dull, matte rind is what you want.
