How to Choose the Perfect Kharbuja
Selecting the right kharbuja can make all the difference in flavor and quality. Here are some tips: 1. Check the Skin: Look for a fruit with a uniform netted pattern on its surface. Avoid kharbuja with cracks or bruises. 2. Feel the Weight: A ripe kharbuja feels heavy for its size, indicating its juiciness. 3. Smell the Base: Ripe kharbuja emits a sweet, musky aroma from the stem end. 4. Press Gently: When pressed, the skin should yield slightly but not be too soft or mushy.
