SUMMER
As the saying goes, spring eats flowers, summer eats melons. In summer, watermelon is a favorite fruit to quench their thirst. Some people buy small portions of watermelon that have been cut, while others put the uneaten watermelon in the refrigerator and eat it next or the next day. However, news such as "a piece of overnight watermelon causes intestinal necrosis", "eating overnight watermelon causes gastroenteritis", "hundreds of millions of bacteria in overnight watermelon" are not uncommon, so, is overnight watermelon a watermelon that has been left overnight? Can you eat watermelon overnight?
How to understand overnight food
Overnight food isn't just leftovers from the day and left over for the next day. Foods that have been left out for more than 8~10 hours are classified as overnight foods. If you cut the watermelon at 10 a.m. and eat it again at 8 p.m., although it has not been overnight, but it has been left for more than 10 hours, it is also considered an "overnight" watermelon. Whether the watermelon can be eaten overnight or not depends mainly on whether the knife and the membrane covering the watermelon are clean, whether it is refrigerated in time after cutting, whether there is cross-contamination in the refrigerator, and how long it is stored.
