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.
