Storage
– Store immediately covered in a sealed original container in the warmest part of the walk-in cooler. Chilling injury (water-soaked spots, pitting, and accelerated decay) can occur if held for more than 3 days, unprotected, in a walk-in cooler.
– The wax coating will provide minimal protection from dehydration; an unprotected product is still extremely susceptible to dehydration.
– Zucchini will yellow from exposure to ethylene gas. Always protect from exposure- short term.
– Do not stack heavy objects on top of Zucchini as they can be easily crushed or bruised.
Handling
– Follow good rotation practices, first shipments received should be used first.
– Zucchini has an expected shelf life of 4-5 days protected and stored properly. Plan to rotate frequently to maintain quality.
– Handle with care, squash can break and bruise easily.
Preparation
– Prepare as needed. Try not to use a product from the previous day.
– Use the squash completely, do not store partially used product back into the cooler for extended periods of time. It will brown and dehydrate.
