Azure Market Produce Squash, Delicata, Organic

Delicata squash is favored in the kitchen as its thin skin is not only an ease to slice but is also edible when cooked so need not be peeled prior to consumption. Delicata squash hold their shape well through cooking, making them an excellent choice for stuffing with grains, meats or cheese, and baking. When cooked, the Delicata has a consistency similar to that of a sweet potato—creamy and soft—although the flavoring is a bit earthier. Delicata squash can be sliced into rings or cubes and braised, stewed, sautéed or roasted. For a decorative effect, take advantage of this squash's ridges by slicing width-wise to create scalloped circles or halves.
