VEGETABLE OF THE MONTH - WINTER SQUASH
Delicata, Acorn, and Butternut... oh my! There are a plethora of winter squash varieties just waiting for you to try! Here's an extensive list, for those curious enough to try them all. What makes winter squash different from its summertime counterpart? The rind. Winter squash is harvested in the fall when the seeds have matured fully and the skin has hardened into a tough rind. This thick, protective layer allows the squash to keep throughout the winter, making it a staple in dishes during the colder months. The skin is inedible in all winter squash varieties EXCEPT delicata squash, which can be eaten rind and all. What is your favorite kind of winter squash?
