King Of Melons
If you talk about the artifact to relieve the heat in the hot summer, you must not miss the watermelon! Summer is always full of the taste of watermelon. Compared with other fruits, watermelon juice is very rich in water and can supplement the nutrients needed by the human body.
Watermelon contains many nutrients, such as vitamins, and many trace elements. In fact, there is one more thing that everyone must not know. Watermelon is also rich in protein. These nutrients are of great help to the health of the human body.
However, compared with other fruits, watermelons are generally relatively large, and there may be a situation where they cannot be eaten at one time. If the cut watermelon cannot be eaten, it can be completely wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in the refrigerator for refrigeration. It can be stored for about three days.
The whole uncut watermelon is sealed with plastic wrap and placed in a cool and ventilated room, and the storage time will be longer accordingly.
If the uneaten watermelon has been stored for a long time, it is recommended not to continue to eat it, because such a watermelon is likely to have deteriorated, and there will be some breeding bacteria in it.
Generally, we will directly cut and eat watermelon.Although the traditional way of eating can be enjoyed refreshingly, it will inevitably get tired after a long time.
