Are You Guilty of These Common Food Storage Mistakes?
Stashing Squash
Honey-nut and butternut squash are varieties of winter squash related to pumpkins. Refrigerating them can cause them to become mushy and lose flavor. The best temperature for storing squash is around 50-55°F.
Exposure to direct sunlight can cause squash to spoil more quickly. The ideal way to store them is in a cool, dark place with good air circulation, like a pantry or cellar. This keeps them firm and flavorful for months, ready to enhance soups, stews, and roasts with their rich, nutty taste.
