Fresh Consumption of Watermelon

Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai

The primary intended use for table watermelon varieties, requiring high organoleptic properties and strict adherence to harvest timelines, as the fruits do not ripen post-harvest.

In the reference 57 varieties crop Watermelon, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating table watermelon varieties, the key criteria are sweetness and flesh texture. Modern hybrids must have a sugar content of at least 11.5–12% and a delicate, granular structure without coarse fibers. Marketability of the fruits is determined by the integrity of the rind and the absence of damage, combined with high transportability.

The specificity of this crop lies in the inability of the fruit to ripen significantly after being removed from the field. Therefore, to ensure quality suitable for fresh consumption, it is critical to adhere to agronomic practices that guarantee full natural ripening of the fruit directly on the plant.
