Details about Cantaloupe (pre-cut)
Also known as Rockmelon, Muskmelon, Spanspek
Pre-cut cantaloupe generally has a shorter shelf life than whole melons due to increased exposure to oxygen and potential for moisture accumulation. They should be stored at a consistent refrigerator temperature below 40°F (4°C) to prolong freshness.
