Termed Winter Squash because they keep for three months in cool, dry storage (between 45 to 50°F), in other words, all winter, now is the perfect time to enjoy Butternut Squash. The exterior color ranges from a yellow to a light tan. Inside, the flesh is orange and has a sweet, nutty taste that is similar to a pumpkin.
