Frozen butternut squash ...

By which I mean, a butternut squash which was in the outside fridge when things got so cold that it froze inside the fridge. I have brought it in to see if I can salvage it. It was extremely easy to cut, and the flesh is frozen on the inside.

Would I still be able to use it to make soup? It only needs to taste ok, how it looks isn't an issue.

The other veges affected include a turnip (which should surely be ok, as they are allowed to freeze in the field, aren't they?) and some carrots (ditto?).

  • The BNS will be absolutely fine for soup, but you'll find it won't keep more than a few days after defrosting. The turnips should be unaffected,but you may find the carrots have a little less crunch to them when they defrost as they have quite a high water content which is broken down by freezing.

    All still perfectly edible now though.
