Brilio.net - Melon is a fruit that is loved by many people because of its sweet taste and fresh texture. This fruit is often used as a light snack or dessert after a heavy meal. Melon is not only delicious, but also rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins and calcium. Its high vitamin C and water content help maintain body hydration.
Many people often store melons as supplies because of their popularity. Whole melons are quite durable even when stored at room temperature. However, the situation is different when this fruit has been cut. Even in just one day, a melon that has been cut can experience unpleasant changes in texture and taste.
Storing melon in the refrigerator can be a solution, but it needs to be done in the right way. Otherwise, the cold temperature of the refrigerator can actually cause the surface of the melon that has been cut to become shriveled and soft. This change can occur in just a matter of days. Therefore, it is important to understand the correct storage method so that the quality and freshness of the melon are maintained.
To prevent this, you can imitate a simple way to store melons shared by YouTube user Rumah Makan D'WIJCK. Through an uploaded video, he explains how to store cut melons so that they stay fresh and the texture does not change even when stored in the refrigerator.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Rumah Makan D'WIJCK on Friday (4/10), the first thing to do is to remove the melon seeds and the middle part. The method is simply to scoop out the part using a spoon. Take it, then throw away the seeds.

Once clean, cover the cut melon surface with plastic wrap. Wrap it until it covers the entire melon surface. After that, place it in the chiller section of the refrigerator. That way, the cut melon can last up to 10 days. The texture also remains soft, not too soft or shriveled.

In addition to the chiller, you can also store melons in the freezer. That way, the melon will freeze and the ripening process will stop. But please note that this method applies to melons that have been cut into smaller sizes to make them easier to store.
So after washing and cutting, place the melons in a row on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then place them in the freezer for 1-2 hours. After the melons are frozen, put them in a container or plastic. Then store them in the freezer again. That way, the taste of the melons will not change for up to 6 months.
