To determine if a watermelon is ripe<\/a>, we recommend using this three-step approach: 1) Pick it up. A ripe watermelon should feel heavy for its size. 2) Check for a yellow spot on the green skin, which indicates ripeness. 3) Knock on the watermelon. It should produce a hollow sound.<\/p>"

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": " An unopened package of feta cheese can last approximately 6 months in the refrigerator. However, once opened, its shelf life decreases significantly to just 7 days. You can tell if feta has gone bad by its off-putting flavor and smell. To extend its life to 2 to 3 weeks, you can cube the feta and submerge it in a jar filled with olive oil, then store it in the fridge.<\/p>"
