  • Yellow squash is a softshell summer squash with a cylindrical shape, bright yellow skin, and creamy white flesh. It has larger seeds than other varieties and has a mild flavor.

Handling Tip
Selection
  • Yellow squash is firm with a uniform yellow color and glossy skin.
  • No signs of blemishes or decay.
  • The stem is green and moist.
Storage
  • Yellow squash should be stored at 41°F - 50°F (5°C - 10°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-five percent and a light mist.
  • The typical shelf life is no more than two weeks. Long-term storage leads to dull rind, dried or discolored stem end.
  • Yellow squash is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Yellow squash should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life. Yellow squash produces a low level of ethylene. Ethylene production increases drastically under chilling temperature.
  • Yellow squash is sensitive to chilling injury at storage below 41°F (5°C). Symptoms include surface pitting, increase rate of decay, and increase rate of water loss. Sometimes symptoms may not be apparent until a return to the higher temperature.
