Member of the gourd family, typified by a hard shell, starchy meat, and seeds. Squash lends itself to a wide variety of recipes, from pies and stuffed pasta to baking on its own, smothered in butter and brown sugar, or simply sprinkled with balsamic vinegar and fresh mint.

Choose squash that are heavy and have a hard skin free of blemishes or mold.
