<human>:  How do I pick out the best honeydew melon?
<bot>: Look for a melon that has a smooth, hard exterior and is slightly rounded on the ends. 2 Inspect the melon for any patches or spots on the surface. 3 Make sure the blossom end of the melon is slightly soft to the touch. 4 Gently press the side of the fruit; it should yield to gentle pressure. 5 When you sniff the fruit it should have a sweet, fragrant scent, no matter the variety. 6 Lastly, melons should feel heavy for their size, indicating a high water content.
