Store Your Watermelon
After bringing a whole watermelon home, store it according to when you plan to eat it. An intact watermelon can generally be kept at room temperature for a period before cutting, while refrigeration can be useful when you want it chilled or need to store it for longer.
Once the watermelon has been cut, refrigerate the pieces promptly in a clean, covered container or wrap them securely. Keeping cut fruit cold helps maintain its quality and reduces the risk of foodborne illness.
