Description/Taste
Black Beauty watermelons are a small to medium-sized varietal, averaging 2 to 2.5 kilograms in weight, and have an oval to oblong appearance with curved, blunt ends. The skin is smooth, glossy, tough, and semi-thick. The surface also showcases an emerald green base hue, covered in broken and mottled dark green-black striping. Underneath the surface, there is a thick layer of pale green rind that is firm, succulent, and crunchy. The flesh is dark red, dense, and aqueous with a tender and crisp consistency. The flesh also encases a few round to tear-drop-shaped black seeds. Black Beauty watermelons should feel heavy for their size and will produce a low-pitched sound when tapped, indicating a high juice content. The watermelon has a high sugar content, ranging from 12 to 14 Brix, contributing to a refreshing, sweet, and subtly fruity taste with faint vanilla, apricot, and banana nuances.
