How Long Does a Watermelon Keep? | CHECK THIS BEFORE STORING WATERMELON

Now that summer is coming to an end I know that I personally try to eat as much summer fruit as possible. But I’m also someone who likes to prepare my fruit by cutting it up all at once for easy access. That’s where watermelon gets tricky. Without the right storage or conditions I’ve learned the hard way that watermelon can go bad quickly. Here are a few tips and tricks to make sure yours doesn’t.

The first essential step is of course washing your melon to make sure all bacteria is removed. The next step is cutting your watermelon as the storage of your fruit is highly dependent on your cuts.

If you’ve decided to go the stick or triangle route plastic wrap is your best friend. Wrap the cut end in plastic wrap and store it in your refrigerator. I recommend putting something underneath it in case the juice leaks out. The plastic wrap will prevent the watermelon from absorbing other odors in the refrigerator but it will also help it stay moist longer.
