Buttercup Squash Round shape, dark green skin. Sweet, slightly dry, smooth orange flesh. Very sweet.

Butternut Squash Shape resembles an oversized pear. Skin is beige. Flesh is bright orange, moist, very smooth and sweet.



Delicata Squash Small, oval squash. Pale yellow skin with green stripes. Dark, sweet, smooth orange flesh. Mild, slightly sweet.

Hubbard Squash Bumpy, greenish-gray skin. Sweet, yellow flesh. Often sold in wrapped, cut wedges because of its large size. Rich, sweet flavor.

Sweet Dumplings Squash Similar to delicata, but shaped like a flattened pumpkin. Mild, sweet flavor.
