How to store melons to keep them tasting better

Are you looking for the proper way to store freshly harvested Korean melons?

When you buy a lot of boxes, storage methods are really important.

Depending on the storage method, the sweetness increases and freshness can be maintained for a longer period.

Today, I will share with you how to store cantaloupe that can reach up to 40% sweetness and be kept for a long time.

Moisture management is important for storing melons for a long time.

If you just put it in the refrigerator, the moisture in the melon will evaporate, so it cannot be stored fresh for a long time.

Therefore, it is good to manage so that moisture does not escape.

Prepare the wrap first for moisture management.

Wrap each melon carefully in plastic wrap for long-term storage.

This way, the wrap prevents moisture from escaping, keeping it fresh for a long time.

It's now time to do the double packaging.

Prepare a zipper bag and put all the melons wrapped in plastic wrap inside.

Then, remove as much air as possible and be sure to zip it tightly.

When wrapped in this double layer, moisture is preserved for a longer period.

This way, I can keep the melon I bought in a box fresh and eat it just like when I first bought it until it's all gone.

The temperature at which chamoe (Korean melon) is the most delicious is said to be 5 degrees Celsius.

To set the refrigerator temperature to 5 degrees, you usually need to place items in the fresh section or fruit compartment.

Be careful when placing chamoe in a very cold place, as it may get damaged.

If stored in a 5-degree refrigerator, the sweetness of Korean melons can increase by up to 40%.

You can enjoy it even more sweetly and deliciously with the increased sugar content.

If you do not have a zipper bag, place it in an airtight container, close the lid tightly, and store it in the refrigerator.

This way, you can achieve an effect similar to putting it in a zipper bag.

Do you store chamoe (Korean melon) together with other fruits?

It is advisable to be cautious when storing with fruits such as tomatoes, pears, apples, and bananas.

Since ethylene gas is released, the ripening process of the melon accelerates, making it easier to harvest.

When storing with that fruit, it is better to keep it alone to maintain its freshness for a longer period.
