Tips
  • Uncut watermelon may be stored at room temperature; to extend shelf life, refrigerate.
  • To freeze: (1) Cut watermelon in half and remove seeds and rind; (2) Slice or cube melon, or cut into balls; (3) Place in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.
  • Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
