Tips and tricks for storing your squash and pumpkins
In order to preserve your squash properly, here are some recommendations:
- Store in a temperate enclosure, between 10 and 18 ° C
- The room must have a humidity level of between 40 and 70%
- Make sure they don’t freeze
- Do not put them in the fridge (except when they’re cut)
- Allow them some breathing space by scattering them on a flat surface
- Look them up every 3 weeks and quickly cook those that start to change
- Protect them from light (if possible, although this is not essential)
- Once a squash is cut, store it in the fridge. Cut squash freeze well grated, mashed or in cubes, no blanching required!
