7 Hacks To Keep Muskmelon Sweet And Fresh For Longer

Choose Ripe but Firm Muskmelons:

Always buy muskmelons with sweet aroma and slight softness as those melons have better shelf life.

Store in a Cool, Dry Place Before Cutting:

Until the muskmelon is ripe keep it at room temperature away from direct sunlight and then refrigerate it later.

Refrigerate After Slicing:

To prevent spoiling and retaining moisture after cutting the melons, store them in an airtight container in the fridge.

Use Lemon Juice for Freshness:

To slow down the oxidation, sprinkle a bit of lemon juice on the cut melons.

Avoid Storing Near Ethylene-Producing Fruits:

Always keep the muskmelons away from bananas and apples as they release ethylene gas that speeds up ripening and decay.

Wrap in Cling Film or Foil:

If you are storing half cut muskmelons wrap them tightly with cling film so that they do not dry or absorb the odors of other food in the fridge.

Consume Within 3 Days of Cutting:

To enjoy the melon with its true flavor and texture eat the stored apple within three days after slicing.
