How to select cantaloupe and how to store it

Muskmelon is a common melon fruit. It has an attractive aroma and a sweet taste. Many people like to eat it, but some people say that they don't know how to choose when buying a cantaloupe, and the taste of the purchased cantaloupe is not good. In fact, there are certain selection skills when buying cantaloupe. I will write it down and tell you later. At the same time, I will also introduce to you how to preserve cantaloupe.

Buying Tips

1. You can smell the smell when choosing

When choosing a cantaloupe, you can smell it. If it emits an attractive aroma, it means that the quality of the melon is relatively good. If you can't smell it, it means that the quality of the melon is not good or it is not ripe yet and is not suitable for purchase and consumption.

2. You can see the fruit stalk

Most of the cantaloupes sold in the market are sold with the stalk. When choosing, you can focus on this part. If the stalk is thick, it means that the cantaloupes may have a lot of growth hormones, and their taste is relatively poor. It is not recommended to buy. The stalks of good quality cantaloupes are relatively thin and fresh.

Storage Method

The storage of cantaloupe is not complicated. After purchasing, you can take it out of the bag directly and place it in a cool and ventilated place. Also, please note that the ground where the cantaloupe is placed should not be damp but dry. This way, the cantaloupe can be stored for about a week without deteriorating. If the cantaloupe is cut, it needs to be placed in the refrigerator for refrigeration.
