Select firm specimens with uniform color near the stem end to ensure optimal ripeness without sugar spikes. Refrigerate cut pieces immediately in airtight containers to prevent moisture loss and bacterial growth. Combine with low-FODMAP feta and mint for balanced savory snack alternatives. Avoid mixing with watermelon or pear to prevent cumulative polyol exposure during preparation.
