    Every time I buy a melon it goes off before I get around to finishing the whole thing. Can it be cubed and frozen?

    Yep. It sure can. Just pop it in a lunchbox or freezer bag :)

    Actually it's nice eaten frozen too!

    Likewise, many fruits and vegetables with a high water content do not freeze well, and the change in their texture is extremely noticeable on thawing. Examples include lettuce, celery, radishes, strawberries, melon, cucumber and cabbage, and these foods are not usually frozen at all.
    Never tried it myself though

    I didn't know that. I bought 5 melons on special offer before Christmas, 25cent each, a few days later, they were reduced to 19 cent but I refrained from buying more. We are about to consume our 5th melon. They were all delicious, juicy, ready-ripe, not one bummer in the lot. If I'd known I could freeze them I'd have bought 5 more!

    Thanks for the replies, have one here ready to freeze. No more gone-off melon in my house!
