This publication highlights best harvest, handling, and storage practices to serve growers interested in producing calabaza based on a review of preexisting and pertinent literature. This guidance also draws upon published information on closely related winter squash varieties, like butternut squash, due to the limited available literature on calabaza. The intended audiences of this publication are growers interested in incorporating calabaza into their rotation of crops, Extension agents charged with guiding growers on the harvesting and handling of calabaza crops, and anyone who is interested in ethnic vegetable production.
