Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for dragon fruit (red-skinned Hylocereus spp., white- or red-fleshed). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Colder storage causes chilling injury (flesh translucency, softening, scale darkening, poor flavor) that shows after warming, especially in less mature fruit; mechanical injury and water loss are the other main problems. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
