Chemically injected watermelons, often used to enhance appearance or extend shelf life, can pose health risks. To identify them:

  1. Appearance: Look for unusual sheen or a glossy surface.
  2. Texture: Check for an overly firm or excessively smooth texture.

  4. Source: Purchase from reputable vendors or local farmers who practice organic farming.
