About Squash, summer, all varieties, raw

That lightness makes it useful for adding volume and texture to meals without adding much else. Eaten raw, it has a crisp, mild sweetness that works well shaved thin into salads or cut into sticks for dipping. Its mild flavor takes on whatever you cook it with far more than it contributes on its own.
