About Squash, winter, butternut, frozen, cooked, boiled, with salt

Butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata) is a popular winter squash with a long tan neck, a rounded bulb base, and smooth, easy-to-peel skin. Its deep orange flesh is dense, sweet, and almost buttery, with a flavor reminiscent of sweet potato. As a winter squash it stores for months in a cool, dry place. Butternut squash is low in calories yet rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, along with fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.

It is wonderfully versatile, roasted until caramelized, pureed into silky soups, mashed, cubed into stews and curries, or roasted into a filling for ravioli and risotto. The seeds can be toasted like pumpkin seeds. Choose squash that feels heavy for its size with a hard, matte rind and an intact stem, and store whole butternut squash somewhere cool and dry, refrigerating it only once cut.
