What are Some Types of Squash?
Squash is a generic name for plants in the gourd family. All of these plants have soft flesh surrounding a seeded core, and many have hard skins. There are a dazzling array of edible squashes, which fall into the categories of summer squash and winter squash. All squashes are equally delicious, and they have myriad uses depending on the type of squash and the goals of the cook. Members of the squash family range from the humble zucchini to the stringy spaghetti squash, two familiar examples of summer and winter squash, respectively.
