Yes, you can keep watermelon in the refrigerator. In fact, chilled watermelon can be a refreshing and delicious treat on a hot day. However, there are some fruits that should not be kept in the refrigerator because they can be damaged by the cold temperature or lose their flavor and texture. Here are some fruits you should avoid keeping in the refrigerator:
Bananas - The cold temperature can turn their skin black, but it is okay to refrigerate ripe bananas if you want to extend their shelf life.
Tomatoes - The cold temperature can make them mealy and less flavorful.
Avocado - They will not ripen properly in the refrigerator and can become overripe and mushy.
Mangoes - The cold temperature can damage their texture and flavor.
Pineapple - They will not ripen further in the refrigerator and can become mushy.
Papaya - The cold temperature can damage their texture and flavor.
Stone fruits (peaches, plums, nectarines) - They can lose their flavor and become mealy when refrigerated.
It is best to store these fruits at room temperature until they are ripe, and then consume them or store them in the refrigerator for a short period to extend their shelf life.
