Notes
An uncut watermelon should last for about 2 days when kept at room temperature or up to 1 week in the fridge. Otherwise, the sliced cubes and sticks are easy to store in the fridge and freezer:
Refrigerator: Store the cut watermelon sticks or cubes in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 or 4 days.
Freezer: Lay the sticks or cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the freezer until the melon is frozen solid. Transfer them to an airtight container or sealable bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
