Squash (vegetable)

Squash and pumpkins are not exactly different cops. Both are coming under genus cucurbita, family cucurbitaceae. However, squash refers to four species of genus cucurbita including the species to which pumpkin belongs. C.pepo and C.mixta are the two common species for both types.It would seem that one can be substituted for the other but they are not the exact same species. Pumpkin pie mix is really made of an orange colored squash.

To cook anything, I follow one of the following steps: 1) look in Betty Crocker Cookbook or the Joy of Cooking or 2) Google the item I want to cook, and see which site seems to have simplest recipe (Kitchen assistant is good) Yellow squash can be steamed, baked, or roasted on a baking sheet in the oven or on the grill. You can use it in casseroles, and I saw several recipes listed on the web. Here is a simple, plain way to cook it: Slice onion, peel and chop one or two cloves of garlic, wash and slice the squash into 1/4" slices (thickness is not important, just try to make them about the same.) Place all into a pot or pan with a little water (maybe 1/2 cup): steam until tender. I would not even add salt and pepper, but you probably would want to.

The spaghetti squash is a winter (hard skinned) squash.

About 5 pounds- depending on how much they like summer squash.

You can grow lots of different things like garlic and brussell sprouts, as well as Lettuces and others like Broud Beans, Purple Sprouting Broccoli and you can also 'force' rhubarb to grow by covering them with special pots, but you can just put buckets over the top of the cluster.

If you mean zucchinis, then i think they do. if you put some of it in their food bowl, they might nibble it a little. they will most likely eat carrots but im not sure about zucchinis. well, just put some of it in the guinea pigs food bowl and see if they like it then you will know for sure. (please post a message on my board if they dont.) thank you for asking!!

It's a fruit. Any part of a plant that contains seeds is a fruit. Vegetables are leafy parts or roots, like spinach and carrots. Grains are seeds that don't have a fruit, or grow on the outside of a pant, typically found in grasses like wheat and rice.

One cup of butternut squash is about 80 calories.

There is 3.4 grams of protein in a 4 in. diameter acorn squash (raw).

I assume the question relates to winter squash, not summer squash. That being the case, check out the web site: http://www.ehow.com/how_4451716_make-pumpkin-flour.html
that describes how to make pumpkin flour. Briefly, pick out a pumpkin/squash, cut it open to remove the seeds and any stringy material, cut away the skin, slice the remaining pumpkin/squash into small pieces, dehydrate the cut up pieces in a dehydrator or oven at low temperature, and finally mill the dried up pieces in a blender to make the flour. Store the flour in a well sealed container.

I do not know how well the process works for different types of winter squash but I would suggest using a Hubbard squash or perhaps a Boston Marrow as they are reportedly good substitutes for making pumpkin pie. This suggests the flour made from those types of squash would be comparably decent.

The very best way to have it is roasted -- either cut in half and seeded, or sliced onto a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt/pepper and any of: curry, paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, onion powder, etc... and bake at about 350 until it browns.

You can also steam or or simmer it, then optionally pure into something like mashed potatoes. Add honey or maple syrup or sauteed onions. Good as baby food.

It's a very flexible vegetable - you can even grill chunks of it, adding a drop of BBQ or chili sauce at the end.

There are a number of squashes from Asian seed companies that are pear shaped although they usually describe it as Papaya. Fairy ( Known-You Seeds ( Taiwan) vended by Territorial, Kitazawa in the USA fits your description fairly well. Phoenix from the same company is lighter green with less pronounced stripes. There is also a Papaya Sweet but it is more of a purple color as is Papaya Golden. ( Evergreen Seeds)
