To keep your cantaloupe fresh, you need to start with the basics: proper handling and storage. This means gently placing it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight - no rough handling or squishing allowed! By doing so, you'll be able to enjoy your cantaloupe for a longer period.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "What about the refrigerator?" Well, my friend, the fridge is actually a great place to store cantaloupe, as long as you keep it away from strong-smelling foods, like onions and fish. The cold temperature will help slow down the ripening process, and keep your cantaloupe fresh for up to 5 days.
