What is special about watermelon, which is much more expensive than usual. I figured it out and share with you.
The watermelon season is still in full swing and continues to amaze me. Recently I discovered a watermelon in VkusVilla at a price of 115 rubles per kilogram. It seems to me that in this store they simply decided not to bother with prices and hang out the price tag from the bulldozer.
Although this watermelon is from the Crimea, and everything that is grown there, is usually sold in Moscow markets at inflated prices. I don't even know what it might be connected with. By the way, it is not clear where and by whom exactly this watermelon was grown, there is no information on the price tag. Okay, let's show you what such an expensive watermelon looks like.
Outwardly, he is nothing special from the usual. Unless its size is small. All watermelons weigh about 2 kilograms. There's nothing more to tell it's time to cut open and see what's inside.
And this is where the fun begins. The flesh of the watermelon was orange. Later I realized that I had not carefully discerned the price tag in the store and did not notice the inscription “Orange watermelon” on it. Perhaps the price is so high because of its unusual color? I wonder what the orange watermelon tastes like.
This berry has a very strange taste. At the edges of the pulp, the texture is similar to a melon, rather dense and watery, closer to the center it changes to sugar, like a regular watermelon. The taste of the pulp from the edges and from the center is very different.
The flesh at the edges is watery and not at all sweet, like unsweetened melon. But the middle of the watermelon is even nothing. True, numerous bones interfere with enjoying the taste. It's time to take stock.
This watermelon surprised me with its unusual flesh color. But the taste is not for everybody. Perhaps I had an unripe fruit, but in the form that I got the watermelon, I absolutely do not want to eat it.
The cost of a watermelon is clearly overpriced, and it is justified only by an unusual color, otherwise it is a very mediocre watermelon. I will not buy this again.
Have you tried this watermelon, did you like it?
