range of shapes and sizes, each
variety has the .characteristic
deep yellow or orange flesh and
nutty-sweet flavour. In general,. a
squash that is heavy for its size
has firm and solid flesh. The rind
should be firm, unbroken, and
free from soft spots or damage.

winter squash is the acorn or
pepper variety. Acorn squash,
