Squash Family

Dive into the delightful world of squashes, where summer and winter varieties bring a burst of flavor and nutrition to your table. In the summer squash category, you’ll find zucchini and yellow squash, both perfect for grilling, sautéing, or adding to fresh salads with their tender texture and mild taste. Calabasita, a staple in many traditional dishes, offers a slightly sweeter flavor that complements a variety of cuisines. As the seasons change, winter squash varieties take center stage with their hearty, rich flavors. Acorn squash, with its nutty taste, and butternut squash, known for its creamy texture and sweet notes, are perfect for roasting and soups. Spaghetti squash offers a fun, low-carb alternative to pasta, while kabocha squash brings a dense, sweet flavor to stews and curries. Don’t forget chayote, a versatile squash that adds a crisp texture to salads and stir-fries. Whether you’re looking for a light summer dish or a comforting winter meal, these squashes provide endless culinary possibilities and a wealth of nutrients.
