Carnival, spaghetti, banana, acorn, turban? What are we talking

with the antioxidant beta-carotene, as well as vitamin C, potassium, and
fiber, dishes featuring the sweet, moist, nutty flavor of winter squash
are a tasty addition to all your holiday menus. So whether it’s
butternut or buttercup, be sure to enjoy Mary Sue and Susan’s favorite
winter squash recipes.
-
 A winter squash with deep color and a dull rind is your best bet
for a fully ripe, flavorful squash. A shiny rind means a squash was
picked too early.
- Overgrown? No way! The longer a winter squash grows, the sweeter
it becomes.
- Winter squash should be heavy for its size with a smooth, dry
rind, free of soft spots or cracks.
- If stored in a cool (but not cold), dry place, winter squash
will keep for up to three months.
