Butternut Squash
Butternut squash has tan skin and a shape like a peanut. Celebrated for its versatility in the kitchen, it has bright orange flesh and is one of the sweetest squashes, resembling a mix of pumpkin and sweet potato.
This variety is beloved for its smooth, dense flesh and sweet, nutty flavor that intensifies the longer it's roasted. Because the seed cavity is small and located only in the "bulb" at the bottom, the long neck provides a solid, easy-to-slice section of pure squash.
Look for a squash with a matte (not shiny) skin and a thick, sturdy stem. It should feel much heavier than it looks. A deeper tan color usually indicates a higher sugar content. Sold by the pound at farm stands. Typically available in September and October.
