About Squash, winter, acorn, raw
Acorn squash is a firm-fleshed winter squash with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and a deep green ribbed exterior. Raw, the flesh is dense with a higher carb content than summer squash varieties, and fiber is modest. Fat and protein are minimal. It is almost always cooked whole or halved, since the raw flesh is too starchy and tough to eat comfortably. Roasted cut-side down, it caramelizes naturally and needs nothing more than a little salt and butter.
