Winter Squash 1 article
Hard rinds and mature, dense flesh unite winter squash such as butternut, acorn, delicata, and spaghetti squash. Most are roasted, baked, cubed for soups, or pureed, while the internal seed cavity and long-keeping whole form distinguish them from tender summer squash. Flavor ranges from mildly sweet to nutty and texture varies by type. The category is useful for grouping these storage squashes without erasing the distinct flesh and cooking behavior of each variety.
