Summer’s heat makes watermelon a juicy lifesaver, but nothing’s worse than biting into a mushy, spoiled one. As Indian temperatures soar past 40°C, proper storage keeps that sweetness locked in longer.
This fruit is 92% water, so it loses crispness when exposed to humidity and heat. The slices begin to wilt, and flavors go off due to bacterial growth. Storing it properly isn’t rocket science, it’s just about protecting it from the sun, air, and temperature swings.
Here are some simple hacks to keep your watermelon stable this summer
