Butternut Squash

Posted by Ladynred at 1:11 PM


I took this photo one Saturday when we visited a farm. We all know that there different kinds of squash so today I'm sharing butternut squash. Butternut is one of the commonly available winter squashes. Winter squashes have hard skins, firmer flesh and larger seeds than summer squashes. Butternut is 8 to 12 inches long and tan in color. Two-thirds of it's body is cylindrical, then it broadens into a bulbous shape.
