Delicata Squash

Delicata Squash

EverydayFresh

Delicata squash is an heirloom winter squash recognized by its oblong shape, creamy yellow skin with green stripes, and edible tender rind that eliminates peeling. Its sweet, nutty flavor—often compared to sweet potato or butternut squash—pairs with a lower carbohydrate content than many winter squash varieties. The flesh becomes caramelized when roasted, making it ideal for stuffing or serving as a naturally gluten-free side dish.
