Each fall many people are starting to plan for their winter food storage. Some folks make tomato sauce and dill pickles, some freeze beans and berries. There are a number of fruits and veggies that can be stored throughout the winter months without preserving or freezing, but some care must be taken to ensure they stay mould/rot free when you want them. Here are some tips on storing winter squash, and a link to a more in depth look at everything from harvesting to curing! ... Store winter squash in a cool, dry place; store winter squash at 50 to 55 F with a relative humidity of 50 to 70 percenthigher humidity can result in rot. Store cured squash on a shelf or rack, not on the floor. Keep the skins of cured squash dry to prevent the growth of fungi and bacteria. Do not store squash near apples, pears, or other ripening fruit. Ethylene gas released from ripening fruit can cause the squash to yellow and eventually rot. Wiping the skin of winter squash for storage with 1 part household bleach in 10 parts of water can slow the growth of microorganisms that can cause rot. Inspect stored winter squash weekly. Squash that starts to spot should be moved away from other stored squash and used as soon as possible. Skin spotting can be a sign of rot setting in. https://harvesttotable.com/store-winter-squash/ #squashseason #pumpkinsandsquash #winterfoodstorage #stayfresh #erinmillsfarmersmarket
