Whole Melons

Just like bananas, melons don’t do well in the cold, as refrigeration can speed up their rotting. When you buy a melon, store it in a cool, dry place—not too cold! Since melons are often a go-to for summer gatherings, it’s tempting to keep them chilled, but they actually last longer at room temperature. If you’re buying a whole melon, you’re likely preparing for a fun time with friends, so be sure to cut it up and enjoy it quickly before it dries out. It’s the perfect refreshing treat to savor in the garden!
