Buying

Butternut squash should be creamy white with yellow-orange flesh, uniform shape, free from blemishes, insect damage and disease.

Avoid product that has soft spots, dull and wrinkled skin or that is extremely light for its size.

Keep in a cool place or in the refrigerator crisper.

They will keep from several weeks to more than six months. Some increase in flavour if you leave them for a while before eating them.

 

Preparing

You can peel it easily

Cooking

Ideal variety to enjoy steamed, boiled or baked

Enhance its taste with a little brown sugar or maple syrup.
