How Long Will Butternut Squash Last
So, how do you store butternut squash to make it last? First, make sure it's free of bruises and blemishes, as these can be Entry points for bacteria and mold. Then, give it a quick scrub and dry it thoroughly - no water, please!
Next, you can store it in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cupboard, or even in the fridge. Just be sure to check on it regularly, as butternut squash can be a bit of a drama queen and get a little moldy if it's not happy. And trust us, you don't want moldy squash - it's like a bad hair day for veggies!
