Now, let's get to the good stuff: how long does cut butternut squash last in the fridge? The answer is, it depends on how it's stored. If you wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, it can last for up to 5 days in the fridge.
But, if you want to get a little fancier, you can try storing it in an airtight container or a glass container with a lid. This will help keep it fresh for up to 7 days. And, if you're feeling extra adventurous, you can even try freezing it for up to 3 months! Just be sure to label and date the container, so you don't forget what's inside.
Now, you might be wondering, what happens if you don't store it properly? Well, let's just say it's not pretty. Cut butternut squash can become mushy and develop off-flavors if it's not stored in a cool, dry place. So, make sure to keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and you'll be golden!
