Usage: Baked.
Selection: Good-quality butternut squash will be firm, smooth-skinned, heavy for its size and have an even cream color.
Avoid: Avoid product that has soft spots, dull and wrinkled skin or that is extremely light for its size.
Storage: Butternut squash can be stored longer than summer squashes because their skin is so hard and thick. Store in a cool dry place for at least a month. If the squash has been cut into pieces, then wrap in a plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 5 days.
