Acorn Squash Delivery or Pickup

With its acorn-like shape, ridged skin, and yellow-orange flesh, acorn squash is easy to recognize. Also known as pepper squash, acorn squash has a sweet, mellow flavor that pairs well with maple syrup, garlic, bacon, and spices such as nutmeg. This fruit is rich in minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. Acorn squash is often mistaken for a gourd because of its color and shape. However, gourds typically don't contain any edible flesh.

Acorn squash can be cooked either with its skin on or peeled and is a staple side dish of many cooking enthusiasts. This fruit has a thick, tough rind that makes it the perfect choice for chefs searching for produce with a longer shelf life.
