Does anyone know the shelf-life of a squash??!
I have been wondering. I have a squash sitting on my counter that I bought at our local farmers market. I won't tell you how long it's been sitting there but does anyone know???
Let me know via a comment.
Thanks!!

Here's a website I found: http://www.producepete.com/shows/squash.html
Details: Storing
Summer squash: Store refrigerated in an unsealed plastic bag and use within three or four days. Handle summer squash carefully because the tender skin is easily nicked.
Winter squash: Never refrigerate unless it's been cut; then wrap in plastic and store only a day or two before using. The smaller the winter squash, the shorter the shelf life; acorn squash, for example, should be used within two or three weeks of purchase. Some of the larger varieties of winter squash will stay sweet and good-tasting as long as six or seven months if kept in a dry, cool (not cold) place, out of direct sunlight.
Thanks Tommy!!!! Seriously that was very helpful!
