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.

Humidity

50-70%

Shelf Life

2-3 months

Packaging

Well-ventilated bags or crates

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).
