Uses

Green Acorn Squash is named for its distinct size and shape. It has a hard, green-black skin with wide ribs, and a fibrous flesh. They taste mildly sweet, similar to a combination of hazelnuts and black pepper. When cooked, they have a creamy consistency. Organic Green Acorn Squash are grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or preservatives. They are easy to enjoy after removing the seeds and baked or used in casseroles. For variety, hollow out the squash and stuff with bread stuffing or a rice and meat mixture. Acorn Squash is a sure way to add variety to dishes any time of the year.

Selection, Storage & Handling

Choose squash that have a hard, deep-colored rind, free of blemishes or moldy spots. The hard skin protects the flesh and allows it to store longer than summer squash. Store Acorn Squash in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area for up to three weeks. Organic produce should not be stacked with non-organic produce.
