Looking for some insight on winter squash processing.
We are looking to process butternut squash and i wanted to see what is acceptable.
When processing squash (dicing) is it necessary to wash the exterior of the squash before cutting it?
Most would say yes, dirt and debris from farms could be introduced into the product if not removed but since the product is not sold as a ready to eat vegetable, and must be cooked, is there a need to wash?
Thanks
