Chemically injected watermelons, often used to enhance appearance or extend shelf life, can pose health risks. To identify them:
- Appearance: Look for unusual sheen or a glossy surface.
- Texture: Check for an overly firm or excessively smooth texture.
- Taste: Be cautious of unusually sweet or artificial flavors.
- Source: Purchase from reputable vendors or local farmers who practice organic farming.
When in doubt, choose organic or certified produce to reduce the risk of consuming chemically treated fruits.
