Crenshaw melons should be stored at room temperature until ripe. Once ripe, they can be refrigerated to slow down further ripening and maintain freshness. Whole melons will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. Cut melon pieces should be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods, as melons can absorb odors.
