delicata squash

Delicata squash is a variety of winter squash with cylindrical fruits that are cream-colored and striped in green or orange. It is a very sweet variety with a thin, edible skin and is typically cut into half rounds and roasted. Delicata squash is most commonly baked, but can also be microwaved, sautéed or steamed. It may be stuffed with meat or vegetable mixtures and is known for its ease of cooking and creamy flavor and texture. The seeds of the squash are also eaten, usually after being toasted. It is a good source of dietary fiber and potassium, as well as smaller amounts of vitamins C and B, magnesium, and manganese.
