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.
Taken from the Tower of Squash at the 10th Annual Heirloom Exposition in Ventura, California. The Exposition celebrates the history, preservation, and cultivation of heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables free from genetic modification. The huge number of different types of “heirloom” fruits and vegetables was mind blowing. I had never seen or heard of nearly all of them.
I havested our last squash today. We put a few slices into our veg mix along with some apple and sultanas. Delicious.
