Squash (vegetable)

Acorn squash is high in fiber.

The female flower on a squash plant produces the squash when mature but will need pollination by a male flower. This can be done by transfering pollen from the anther of the male flower to the stigma of the female flower. Either an insect or person can do this.

There a number of possibilities. Check for snails, water later in the day and use slightly less water, or put either hay or straw under plants to get them off of the ground. If it is snails, I have heard that if you bury a bowl to the rim and put beer in it they will go to that instead. They crawl down the side and drink until falling in and drowning.

Courgettes have no fat and no cholesterol. A 1 oz serving has 1 g fiber, 1 g protein 1 g sodium, 16% RDA vitamin C, 3% RDA vitamin A. They contain thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper and calcium. Most of the nutrients are in the skin. Yellow courgettes contain antioxidants such as lutein and carotenes. Dark green courgettes have more nutrients.

Probably, as I think they can eat raw cucumber.

A courgette (which is a zucchini) is actually a small vegetable marrow, cut for use before maturity.

A courgette is a young vegetable marrow that is an annual fruit.

Squash is technically a fruit, but is commonly used as a vegetable, much like tomatoes.

I think you mean patty pan squash. Pattypan squash is a quick growing summer squash variety with a slightly nutty taste. In terms of their delicacy, they are more like zucchini, straight neck or crook neck squash -- they certainly aren't as hardy as acorn or spaghetti squash. You can steam, poach or saute them, much like zucchini.

Alexandria is a very productive Eskenderany type summer squash hybrid with a very strong plant, a semi-erect single stem, and an open habit allowing for easy picking. Compared to leading varieties, the fruit has a more color, mottles, and a cylindrical shape. This hybrid has resistance to ZYMV/WMV and tolerance to Powdery Mildew and low temperature. Edible in about 40 days after sowing.

The flower of zucchini and other summer squash are quite edible and have become regular fare in Mexico and other Third World countries. Native Americans who grew winter squash before Europeans arrived made squash blossom soup.

The reason squash blossoms became food so early was that these plants bear two kinds of flowers, one for each sex, on the same plant. There are roughly three male pollen bearing flowers for each single female ovary flower. Since the female flowers are the fruit bearers, indigenous people began plucking the excess male flowers to eat before the crop of squash matured. This was particularly useful with winter squash that takes all season to mature compared to summer squash which makes edible fruit in just a few weeks after pollination.

Zucchini flowers, with the baby female fruit attached are now expensive and upmarket vegetables in restaurants, certainly in australia and U K. The flowers can be stuffed with a rice and minced meat filling or a delicate cheese mix. They are often presented stuffed and deep fried in very light Japanese style batters. (When you stuff them, it's a delicate amount and then you'll find you can close the petals and give the ends a very gentle twist at the end tips, to keep them closed but it's a delicate operation).

It depends how much sugar\fat is in the squash or milkshake.

There cannot be a world record for the largest courgette as a courgette is just a small vegetable marrow. Therefore, although the courgette becomes a marrow there is no specific point where this change happens.

They need to be lifted off the ground; placing a piece of wood like a short plank underneath, or otherwise raising it slightly and protecting it, will help.

You need to blanch it first. Blanching is: Putting the vegetable in boiling water for a few minutes. Place vegetable in a large pot of boiling water for about 4 to 5 minutes.Remove the vegetable and directly place in a bath of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and place in an air tight container or freezer bags and then place in the freezer.
