Cut fruit changes faster than whole fruit because more surface area is exposed.

“How long does it last?” depends on refrigeration, fruit type, packaging and signs of spoilage.

1. Refrigerate it soon after purchase

If you are not eating it immediately, put it in the refrigerator as soon as you get home.

2. Different fruits release moisture differently

Watermelon and orange tend to release more juice over time. Mango and kiwi may look more stable, but they should still be kept refrigerated once cut.

3. Freshness is best sooner

For the best taste and texture, finishing the fruit the same day is the simplest recommendation.

4. When should you throw it away?

Do not eat the fruit if you notice a clearly sour smell, slimy texture, unusual softness or abnormal discoloration.

FAQ: Can I keep a fruit box overnight?

If it has been properly refrigerated the whole time, many cut fruits can be kept overnight, although the texture may decline.
