An expert named the date when delicious watermelons and melons without “chemicals” will appear on the market.
It is better to avoid buying early watermelons, advises Shamil Magomedov, Deputy Executive Director of the Russian Association of Retail Market Experts (RAERR).
In a comment to Radio 1 , he said that it was still too early to buy watermelons at the beginning of July.
There is a very high probability that such fruits were grown with the help of saltpeter. Such products cannot be called healthy.
The optimal time will not come before mid-July. You need to wait until watermelons fill the shelves en masse. Then it will be easier to buy tasty and healthy fruits.
The ripest specimens are those that produce a dull sound when tapped, Magomedov reminded.
As for melons, it is better to postpone their purchase until the beginning of August.
In this case, it is worth choosing those that were grown in Volgograd, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don. They are considered not only the most delicious, but also emit a sweet honey smell.
Earlier, a second case of death from botulism was reported after mass food poisoning from a delivery service.
