Storage: Store winter squash and pumpkins around 50 degrees and in a dry environment for best storage. They can be put in the fridge short-term, but will suffer cold damage after a few weeks.

Uses: Soups, stews, curries, and baked squash. Delicious and low-calorie, winter squashes are the meat substitute of the vegetable world. Spaghetti squash makes a low-calorie pasta substitute.
