Are you salting your cut face? Stop that. Salt draws out water. It turns the flesh into a puddle.
Are you storing it next to onions or garlic? Why would you do that? Watermelon absorbs odors like a sponge.
You want onion-flavored melon? No, you don’t. Keep it far away from strong smells.
Should You Freeze Watermelon?
Listen. You can freeze it. But the texture will scream “sorbet” when it thaws. It becomes a mushy slushie.
Is that useful? Sure, for smoothies or margaritas. Absolutely do that.
But for eating fresh slices? Never. Freezing destroys the cell walls. Thaw it, and you’ll cry into a bowl of watery granules.
