It has larger seeds than other varieties and has a mild flavor. Yellow squash is completely edible both raw and cooked. Yellow squash is usually roasted or baked. Yellow squash is available year-round. 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.
