These videos are outstanding! Since viewing them, I have made better choices on selecting fruit for my family and even better preparing them. Thumbs up for all of them and I am now one of your subscribers. I am sharing these videos with others. Keep them coming. Thank you very much!👍😊
I threw the seeds from one i ate in the spring into my garden. Well, they took over (luckily, everything else was in pots and able to be moved. ) Well, now, they're getting big and I'm hoping this video will help me with picking them at the right level of ripe.
Love this Honeydew video. I needed the information and the laughs were a plus. It was funny hearing you want to take a bite out of that slice right away, because it must have smelled delicious. The funny face at the end was humorous too. Thank you:)
You should always wash melons and all produce before you peel or cut them up. Many unwashed hands have touched them before you. Most cases of food contamination come from unwashed produce. I worked in grocery industry 25 years.
@lesliemoore: I've always washed all fruit and veggies (with soap ☺️) but never once did it occur to me that I should wash melons of any sort. Twenty-five years in grocery? You know the business. Thanks a bunch!!
@@fraps3200 Make this potatoes, peppers, onions and any produce at all. You dont know how many hands touched this or what happened during transport. Also, cans, and anything you eat, from a bottle, can or packet, at least rinse under water.
I have just started growing a few Honeydew melon plants, in my new garden beds. However I have had problems with the soil and with some invisible insects eating the leaves off my Honeydew melons as well as my cucumbers. Although I do have one small, but very cute honeydew melon growing on one of my plants. 😊
Perfect answer to my question of how to know if a honeydew melon e is ripe. If I buy one that isn't quite ready is there a way to store them so they do ripen please? My cat loves them and if they aren't just right she turns her nose up and walks away. (That's how I know if they are ok but it's too late cos I've already cut into them. I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos. Thank you
As far as I know, a honeydew melon will not ripen after it's picked from the vine. If you let it sit on your kitchen counter, it will get softer, but not sweeter. So, you're better off buying one that is ripe at the store.
@@FoodChainTV that makes sense cos that's what happened to me. Maybe buying from a market as opposed to a supermarket is the way forward on that one. My cat loves melon but has a small window of what she considers to be deemed acceptable
Something borrowed; 📌 If short on time and/or patience, can speed up the ripening process by placing honeydew in a paper bag leave at room temperature. Like bananas & apples, honeydew melons emit ethylene gas, which helps fruit ripen faster. ATT: Be Sure to check everyday!
Such helpful videos is it possible that the unripe melon would ripen after keeping for a few days the one l had delivered today is obviously unripe anyway thankyou for all your hard work 😊
Yes, you can leave it on your kitchen counter and wait for it to ripen. It will either ripen, or rot, depending on ambient temp and humidity. But, most likely, it will ripen.
❇️❇️❇️❇️["🍈"]❇️❇️❇️❇️ I LOVE THIS VIDEO!~ I LOVED WHAT I'VE LEARNED!~ I'LL LOOK FOR A "HONEY HUED" DEW WITH SUN STRIPES AND SOFT LIKE NAVEL... MAY THE CHOSEN ONE BE JUST AS SWEET AS "MAPLE" 😊!~ -💚*🙏🏽❇️
If you cut it across instead of lengthwise, you can rotate it on your cutting board (or rotate your cutting board) to cut the rind off like you do with watermelon (taking the seeds out first). I do this for cantaloupe as well.
