About Squash, summer, green, zucchini, includes skin, raw

Winter squash (genus Cucurbita) is a group of hard-skinned gourds harvested in fall and prized for their sweet, dense, golden flesh, including butternut, acorn, spaghetti, kabocha, and Hubbard squash. Unlike tender summer squash, these are left to mature fully on the vine, developing a tough rind that lets them store for months in a cool, dry place. The deep orange flesh is rich in beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A, along with fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.

Winter squash turns meltingly tender and caramelized when roasted, and it is also pureed into silky soups, mashed, stuffed, or simmered into curries and stews, while spaghetti squash separates into tender strands. The seeds can be roasted into a crunchy snack. Choose squash that feels heavy and firm with a hard, dull rind, and store whole squash somewhere cool and dry.
