🧊 How to Keep Watermelon Fresh
To keep watermelon tasting fresh and safe to eat, proper storage is key:
If it’s whole:
-
Store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
-
If you won’t eat it within a few days, refrigerate the whole fruit to slow down ripening.
If it’s cut:
-
Cover exposed flesh with plastic wrap or place slices in an airtight container.
-
Store it immediately in the refrigerator.
-
Try to eat cut watermelon within 3–5 days for the best taste and texture.
🍉 Enjoy Watermelon Safely
Watermelon is packed with nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants such as lycopene. It supports hydration, digestion, and heart health — as long as it’s fresh and chemical-free.
Remember, if you cut into a watermelon and notice unusual internal cracks, an odd smell, or a slimy texture, it’s best to discard it immediately. When it comes to your health, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
