Handling protocols

  • Avoid dropping or stacking heavy goods on watermelon because internal bruising can occur without obvious rind damage.
  • Scrub the rind under clean running water before cutting, then dry it.
  • Use a clean knife and cutting board and keep cut fruit away from raw meat, poultry and fish.

Storage tips

  • Keep whole watermelon in the coolest shaded place available and use within several days for best quality.
  • Once cut, cover and refrigerate immediately; use cut watermelon within about 3–4 days for best quality.
  • Do not leave cut watermelon in hot conditions for extended periods.
  • Discard flesh that becomes slimy, strongly fermented, unusually sour-smelling, badly water-soaked or moldy.
