About Squash, summer, zucchini, includes skin, frozen, unprepared
Cucurbita is the plant genus that gives us many of the world's most familiar squashes and gourds, including pumpkins, zucchini, acorn and butternut squash, and both summer and winter varieties. Native to the Americas and among the oldest cultivated crops, these vining plants were a cornerstone of Indigenous agriculture as one of the Three Sisters alongside corn and beans. Their fruits range from tender, thin-skinned summer squash eaten young to dense, sweet, hard-shelled winter squash that stores for months, and their seeds and flowers are edible too.
Nutritionally the group is generous, offering vitamin A and carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber while staying low in calories, and the seeds add protein and healthy fats. These squashes are roasted, steamed, pureed into soups, baked into pies, sauteed, and stuffed. Winter types deepen in sweetness as they cure after harvest. Choose firm, heavy fruits with unblemished skin, using tender summer squash within a few days and storing hard winter squash in a cool, dry place for weeks to months.
