Once you cut open a watermelon does it last longer in the fridge or on the counter?How do you keep it fresh?!
Same with pineapple,fridge or room temp!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
You definitely want to store it in an air tight container in the fridge but until you cut it leave it out on the counter (for up to 2 or 3 days) as the Lycopene content is far less in watermelons stored below 70 degrees F!. Hope that baby Pearce is enjoying all of the great nutrients in his watermelon!
