HOW TO STORE: Store whole watermelons at room temperature. Once cut, refrigerate in an airtight container for use within 5 days.
CAN I FREEZE WATERMELON? Frozen watermelon cubes make a sweet and colorful addition to water! Freeze watermelon cubes on a lined sheet pan. We do not recommend defrosting frozen watermelon to use later, as it may lose its taste, texture, and color in the defrosting process.
HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD ONE: Before you wash, cut and store, you need to pick a watermelon! Look back to our post from last Summer about how to choose a good watermelon: https://eatsmartidahointhekitchen.com/2019/07/15/how-to-choose-a-good-watermelon/
