FAQs about Santa Claus melons
The Santa Claus melon has more calories, more minerals and salts, more vitamins, and less water as compared to a watermelon. It is also rich in potassium, which is good for the heart, and has a high concentration of vitamins A and C, which boosts the immune system and protects the skin.
Just like most other plants, the easiest way to tell if a Santa Claus melon has gone bad is by observing its outer skin. A Santa Claus melon with green coloring, with spots that are dark or dirty or soft and sunken, and looks moldy is a sign of spoilage. When the insides become too soft and meaty and have a foul smell, it is a sign that the melon has gone bad.
Preserving the Santa Claus melon requires special considerations, as it is easily susceptible to damage and rot even during storage. Some of them include:
- Do not store together with vegetables that are sensitive to ethylene. This is because Santa Claus melons produce ethylene.
- Store in the warmest part of the refrigerator. Santa Claus melons are easily prone to damage caused by too cold an environment. This can affect their taste and make their flesh turn too soft.
- Store unused portions in air-tight containers and refrigerate for a few days. Ensure you do not freeze.
- Take out visibly damaged or moldy melons before storage.
- In storage, avoid stacking other products on the Santa Claus melon cases as this will crush the melons.
