How long will a cantaloupe stay fresh in the refrigerator?

Answer 1

Well... There are a lot of different answers for that. Usually,

A couple of days depending on how ripe it was when it was cut.

Sometimes,

If it is cut up in a zip lock bag, 1 day. If 1/2 is covered with plastic wrap, 3 days. If it is in a covered container (cut up) 2 days.

But mostly,

They ripen even in the fridge, so eat it all within 2-3 days?

Answer 2

Depends if you cut it up or how fresh it may be, if it starts to feel too soft then it may be a bad sign and you shouldn't wait very long before eating it, I got sick after waiting 5 days with it cut up sitting in a container, but it mainly just depends on the condition of it before its cut up. To be safe with all fruit it might be a good idea not to cut up more then you can eat within the next several days.

Answer 3

It really depends on ripe the cantaloupe is when you bring it home. If it is very fresh you should cut it up and refrigerate it immediately. It it is quite unripe you may be able to hold it for 2-3 days in a cool location without refrigeration.

Answer 4

Melons do not last long once they become ripe. A whole uncut melon will stay good for 5 to 7 days. If the melon is cut it will last only 3 days.

Answer 5

One week. Wrap uncut cantaloupe
