Store Well, Waste Less
*Whole melons can be kept at room temperature for 7 to 10 days. They ripen very little after picking and begin to lose flavor and texture with longer storage.
*Refrigerate just before eating if desired.
*Rinse melon under running water before cutting.
*Cut watermelon can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Put in a covered container or cover the cut surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
