Some do, I don't: just be sure to first wash your squash!
no
Actually, there is no need to peel it. Just cook it whole and it will peel like a banana.
I always peel squash before adding it to soup. Squash tend to disintegrate when cooked in soup and so it is probably best to liquidise the soup post-cooking. Liquidising skin of vegetables is not advisable because it will result in small harder bits in the soup (not nice!). An excellent way to add flavour to soup is to roast the squash in the oven first. Because of its tendancy to disintegrate I would suggest doing this with the skin on. Then before adding the roasted squash to the soup peel off the skin. A good recipe for squash soup is:- # Chop 1 onion and cook until softened in a little butter. # Peel and Dice 1 squash. Add to the pan and place a lid on the pan. Steam the squash for 20 minutes until slightly softened. # Add 1 can of sweetcorn kernels. (not creamed) Add 1500ml of Stock made with Swiss Bouillon powder. Cook for another 30 minutes. Blend. # Serve with a little milk. I always peel squash before adding it to soup. Squash tend to disintegrate when cooked in soup and so it is probably best to liquidise the soup post-cooking.

When I make zucchini bread, I do not peel it. I just cut in half and grate it with a cheese grater. That works wonderfully!
If you cut the summer squash in half and then coat it in butter, it will provide a nice seasoning. Then you wrap the squash in foil and bake on the grill until soft.
a carrot u bum! Jon or squash, pumpkins, and peppers ;)
No! Butternut squash is a winter squash and because of that it is also a long storing squash that should be kept in a cool, dark, dry place. If you do choose to freeze it you will have to peel and cut the squash into cubes and roast it. When packaging squeeze air out of the bag and freeze.
It's possble that gorillas peel bananas before eating them, but it's unlikely that they peel them in the wild. It's more likely that they peel them in captivity after seeing humans peeling them. It's also reported that monkeys and chimpanzees peel bananas at a zoo in Copenhagen.

1. Buy persimmons. 2. Remove peel & pips (if present). 3. Chop or squash or blitz.
You don't have to peel an orange before using it in a juice extractor. With the skin on, you will get more nutrients.
