Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for pumpkins and winter squashes, most cultivars (including tropical pumpkin/calabaza). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Keep humidity moderate and the fruit surface dry with good air circulation, because higher humidity promotes decay while lower humidity causes weight loss and texture deterioration. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
