Start with an Airtight Container - Store freshly cut watermelon in an airtight container to preserve its juiciness and freshness.
Refrigerate Immediately - Place the container in the refrigerator right after cutting to keep the watermelon cool and crisp.
Store in Single Layers - If possible, arrange the watermelon in a single layer to prevent pieces from getting crushed.
Add a Layer of Plastic Wrap - For extra freshness, place a layer of plastic wrap directly over the watermelon pieces before sealing the container.
Keep Away from Strong Odors - Watermelon can absorb odors from other foods, so store it away from strong-smelling items in the fridge.
Consume Within 3-4 Days - For the best taste and texture, enjoy your stored watermelon within 3-4 days.
Freeze for Longer Storage - If you need to store watermelon for an extended period, freeze the pieces on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag.
Avoid Storing in Water - Storing watermelon in water can dilute its flavor and texture, so keep it dry.
