Fresh gem squash, a delightful and nutrient-rich winter squash, offers a subtly sweet flavor and tender flesh perfect for roasting, steaming, or baking. Proper storage ensures this versatile vegetable retains its peak freshness and culinary appeal for your healthy meals.

Storage Time

Temperature

Ideal pantry temperature is 10-15°C (50-59°F). Refrigerate at 0-4°C (32-39°F).

Freezing

Gem squash can be frozen for longer storage, though texture may soften upon thawing. For best results, cook or steam the squash until tender, then cool completely.
