I could not resist and bought a watermelon of an unusual shape. Is it worth the money?
After I tried a small watermelon for 90 rubles / kg and a yellow watermelon, I thought that nothing would surprise me. But it looks like I was in a hurry. I saw in VkusVilla an unusual watermelon, which is very similar in shape to a melon.
I could not resist and bought the smallest watermelon to try. Let's show you what it looks like.
The shape of a watermelon is very similar to that of a melon. Unless the melon is yellow, but this watermelon is not. Although, judging by the price tag, there must be something yellow in it. Such a watermelon costs no less than 110 rubles per kilogram.
I don’t know what caused such a high cost, perhaps it’s the greed of VkusVill. Perhaps the manufacturer is raising the price. By the way, who is the manufacturer?
The price tag indicates only the region of production - Crimea. I tried to search the online catalog of the store, but there is no information there either. It's time to cut open the watermelon and find out what's inside.
I was surprised that the cutting process did not have the refreshing “cold” aroma that usually comes with cutting a good watermelon. Maybe this is a feature of yellow watermelons?
Inside, the watermelon itself is yellow, not very bright, but you can't call a watermelon pale either. How to check such a berry for ripeness, I do not know, so I will hope that it is ripe.
Although this watermelon is small, mine weighed about 1.5 kilograms, it still has bones. Externally, the texture of the pulp is no different from the usual red watermelon. It's time to try it to find out its taste.
It seems to me that I will soon become a watermelon sommelier, as I managed to try more than one new variety for myself. But I don't really like watermelons. This berry is sweet, but, in my opinion, does not differ in taste from ordinary watermelon. It's time to take stock.
This yellow Crimean watermelon disappointed me. Apart from its shape and color, it is no different from a regular watermelon. Although no, it differs - in price. The cost, in my opinion, is high. I do not plan to buy such a watermelon anymore.
Have you tried this watermelon?
