About the Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is a winter squash shaped a bit like a bell, with smooth tan skin and bright orange flesh inside. It has a sweet, nutty flavor and is often roasted or made into soup. Its orange color comes from beta-carotene, the same nutrient found in carrots. Print this page for a harvest or colors lesson, tracing the curved shape from stem to base.
