- Cthe shape of the bottom (round vs oval)
- or webbing/field spots
But these are not sex differences. They are just natural variations in how the fruit grew.
🍉 What actually determines sweetness
If you want a sweet, juicy watermelon, look for:
- Yellow field spot (means it ripened on the ground)
- Heavy for its size
- Deep hollow sound when tapped
- Dull rind (not shiny)
- Dry, brown stem
These are real agricultural indicators—nothing to do with gender.
So the “female watermelon = sweeter” claim is just internet storytelling, not science.
