Banana Squash

A classic heirloom winter squash with sweet, dense orange flesh and a mild, nutty flavor. Banana squash are big — one goes a long way.

Ways to enjoy it:

• Roast in wedges with butter and brown sugar
• Cube and add to soups, stews and curries
• Mash as a side, like sweet potatoes
• Bake into pies, breads and muffins in place of pumpkin

Stores well for weeks in a cool, dry spot.
