Quality Criteria for Selection of Fruits :
1. The fruits skin should not have blemishes or soft brown spots.
2. There should not be any small holes on any side of the surface.
3. A shiny appearance and fresh aroma especially from citrus fruits.
4. When pressed a little, they should be firm and must hold their shape.
5. The fruit should feel heavy for its size.
6. For a ripe watermelon, tap the melon with your flat hand. If the sound is deep and thick it’s probably a ripe and sweet fruit.
