To choose a butternut squash is fairly simple, it is so self-reliant that it doesn't even need to be refrigerated, and can be stored in a cool dark place for several weeks.
First, pick it up. It should be heavy for its size. Look it over and make sure its skin is firm and free of bruises. Check for brown frostbite scars, which can affect the squash's texture and longevity, and punctures or cuts, which can let bacteria in and cause mold.
The outside of the squash should be smooth and clear, and you do not have to worry about the squash's freshness when choosing it, butternut's do not go bad they keep for several weeks. Follow these simple guidelines and you will always have a fantastic butternut squash.
